I am 1k miles away, and I think TH is 1300, and jabo must be lookin at 1400 miles easy... I know it is a 4 hour ride for me to get to boston from my house.... Around 350 miles 1 way.... I dont know exactly where TH is in CT, but I know he has a heck of a ride, because on a good day, for me to get to tranquility CT or Grotten (Naval base), it took 3 hours!!! So, those poor guys got it bad!!!
Thank god they are buggy nuts like me!!! or kinda like me... lol
How about asking the park to put a donation can at the front desk area so that other people could donate, make like a little sign or something.
And could I follo you there rmb or TH? Cause I have to convince my mom to let me go and this way if I follo you guys I would be with other people. and I ll have my CB with me, and my friend to pay for gas
Could we also make a paypal account and put it some were here on the site, or make a page for it and have like a mormal to him. _________________ NE Gang member

Awesome ideas. I am avoiding the paypal account because of the stupid fee's and such... I would like to just write a nice sized check after everyone who can, donates some extra $$!
As per following me down, you better secure a camp site soon!!! They are going real quick if you plan on going!!! I wouldnt mind you following at all!!! That is the whole point of NEBA!!!!!

Dark_Side_150, I can call your mother and let her know that a responsible adult will be there.
I'm planing on leaving Wednesday, setting up camp on Thursday and coming back Monday morning. This may all change as I've got some work in Newark Arkansas for that same period that will require the company to deliver some equipment. As such I may have to drop off some stuff in AR first. Newark, AR is 235 miles/4 hours from SJSP so it's "on the way."
There's already a method for direct donations to get to the Hopkins family. If anyone has any questions they can do a search on here or you can always contact Jabo (Jamie) via PM. He has been spearheading those efforts.
Fund raising activities also need to go through a consistant contact. We need to be certain that no one is taken advantage of with this type of stuff. _________________ Chris Dierkens

She does trust me, its the truck that she doesn't trust. My dad didn't take care of it that well, and it is fine but she doesn't want me getting stranded, and I get my license on May 3 so its the new driver thing.
But the truck runs good so now its gas money lol
But also we could make things and sell them and all the proceeds go to the family, like stickers, T shirts, hats etc _________________ NE Gang member
I have a suggestion and this is just food for thought.
Steve Hopkins has done a great thing for the buggy world!
Sue, his wife, I'm sure, was devastated at their loss.
Although I wholeheartedly agree with the Hopkins foundation, I think we may better serve Steve's family if we make the check to a particular center in their name. In that situation, I for one would really appreciate all the "love" but I would also want to move on as well, (if it were me).
I am sure Jamie can put these donations in their name without constantly reminding them of their loss.
Again, I may be way off base here so it's just a suggestion. _________________ -Tom-
