Indian Creek update

[AFIVE]

Here is an e-mail from the Friends of Indian Creek. If you are headed there...it will be helpful for you to bring your own wag bags, so that there are plenty for folks to use who were unaware of the current issues at the creek. I'm headed there tomorrow for three weeks suckas!!

 

peace, G

 

 

 

Hi All

 

Here is a quick update, to let you know the latest.

 

On April 7th, Greg Child presented a slide show on a traverse of Comb

Ridge

and the findings of many Ancient Anasazi ruins, at Mondo Café in Moab.

We

had a great turn out, and through the sale of raffle tickets for some

fantastic prizes from The North Face and Gearheads, we raised $560.00.

So a

big thanks to Greg for a great show, and thanks to all of you who came

to

support the Friends of Indian Creek.

 

People have also been making donations in the donation box at Gearheads

–

thanks to you too.

 

And, we have raised over $200 from the sale of Friends of Indian Creek

t-shirts at Pagan Mountaineering, so thanks to the t-shirt buyers and

of

course to Pagan, for doing such a great job of selling them.

 

We have 4 kiosks situated at Indian Creek now, complete with wag bag

dispensers and donation boxes. The American Alpine Club provided the

funds

for these kiosks and 1000 wag bags. We are pleased to say that we are

almost

out of wag bags. They seem to be a big hit and people are discovering

that

using them really isn’t that bad, and obviously realize the alternative

of

trying to dig a hole where someone else hasn’t already been before and

having to pay fees for the privilege of going to Indian Creek is not

really

a very desirable one. So again, thanks to all of you who have taken the

bull

by the horns and are helping to save Indian Creek as we know by using

your

wag bags. Also, thanks to those who have been making donations. As I

said,

we are almost out of wag bags, and we will need to buy more, so

donations

will be gratefully received.

 

Keep your eyes and ears open for the next FOIC slide show. We are in

the

process of lining up some more entertainment for you, and this will be

posted on the web site and an email will be sent out.

 

Well, keep up the good work. Things seem to be going great. As long as

we

are all out there doing our bit, we can make this work, and we can

continue

to enjoy Indian Creek as we know it.

 

Bye for now,

 

Emma Medara
