First Sponsor for SMB 2014

We're not even fully ready and we have our first ever Diamond Level sponsor for SMB.  Bend Pet Express contacted us and said they wanted to be a sponsor again this year. It makes sense because they were so enthusiastic and helpful last year. We showed them the sponsor categories and they chose the top one--the new Diamond Level at $350. If that weren't enough, they'll be helping in other important ways as well. More about that later. We officially start fundraising next month. Our prediction that 2014 is going to be an exceptional year seems to be on target. One of the things making that possible is all of the people who have become members. We're launching our new website soon and it will be easier than ever to RSVP for SMB, become a member, and more. Stay tuned ...

Trail Condition Updates Going Again

John, the person who was giving us most of the trail condition reports, got sick recently and couldn't hike. We hear he's getting back on his feet and should be hiking again soon. Jim, and his dog Lola (the world famous poop carrying dog of Pilot Butte), stepped up to the plate a couple days ago and is providing trail reports daily. So, pretty soon, we should be getting reports twice daily.

If you're familiar with twitter, just search on #pbtrails for the reports. If not, you can get them on our
