Camp Fire Relief Run 11/17/18

Connection made! Thank you so much! Your awesome! My wife was so damn happy to see that table. Just had the fact we lost ours and only set it up to get an idea when to use it.
Also reviewed this add in with it. You rock sir!
Thank you again
John

 

Thank you to all that pulled this off and those that made itnposit possible. I truly haven't got people like you all in my family. You all truly care. That's what makes you all a family.
Special thank you to @Twizted and @Uphillshunter for the time you guys spent to get this far from home. Never have had such generosity as soon as ibg I get in coming South.. I hope not this weekend but maybe next.

 

Stopped in Williams at McDonalds. If you guys ever get a chance to stop here... don't. lol

 

Lol. We saw a “gourmet burger and beer” sign on the way to drop off the load to the new evac shelter so we went back there after we dropped off the stuff. Turns out the “gourmet burger and beer” place was just Red Robin. Lol. Good times today. Felt good doing a little bit to help out. Plus badass to see 9 tacos dropping off donations and being asked if we were a club or something

 

Nah not really a club more like a family of like minded people that won't sit idle when shit goes down. But help out all you can.

Thank you again for the table Rob. As for the extra inside? An other thank you and I believe we will just have to do our Thanksgiving now. We were just hoping to cancel this year but looks like we're good to go!

 

So great you guys did this! We were helping another fire victim with putting up rain gutters on her newly rebuilt house or we would have been there. This is not something that will be fixed anytime soon but everyone’s willingness to help out is something that means a lot to them. My boyfriend’s aunt wanted me to tell you guys “thank you, thank you, thank you”. My brother is blown away with this also and said “it means so much”

 

Here's a small photo-dump from yesterday.
I appreciate all of you, and what we all do.

 

You guys have any issues leaving stuff, like "we're full, but thank you"?
Neat convoy by the way.

Most places weren't turning away new stuff. The used stuff was a little trickier just due to the volume of it that had already been donated. The Red Cross evacuation center at the Butte County fairgrounds ended up taking it all though. Apparently some centers in Chico were either closing down or turning people away and they were expecting an influx of people.

 

That makes sense, especially food or hygiene items.
Duane

 

I bribed the staff at hopewell into taking my used stuff. A case of fresh chips and salsa and they took everything in my truck..lol. the best part was we would pull into places and people would say " look at all the toyotas, it's so cool." And then start taking pictures.

 

@Whitebutler , bro I hope the shoes fit your wife. And with a gift card take her out for dinner. Just get away for awhile..

 

Yeah buddy!
We were just trying to figure out long term trailer life. The only way is to throw up a shed. So now we are shopping around for one. Damn this gets you really good at adapting to any situation when it's you and your family. Well I'm keeping a positive attitude and going to stay level headed. I'm headed to the old hickory shed place to look. We'll see.

 

Good deal man. Just take it one day at a time. You find ways to make it work.im glad we could help you out. And hopefully we'll do a lil camping and fishing in the future.

 

You’re welcome man. I can’t imagine what you have been / are still going through moving forward especially this time of year around the holidays and with the cold coming. I just wanted to do something small to hopefully make it a little easier for you guys. Once you get settled, we all need to get together on a camping trip.

 

Are you going to stay there in Anderson for a while? If you are, and you don't find the right shed, Tuff Shed from Home Depot makes great stuff. I've got one thats nearly three years old and still looks brand new. If you want one, I'm sure we could raise some funds to help you get one.

 

Bummed that I couldn’t make the run with you guys yesterday. Im down to roll up with some tools and or materials and help you erect one. A shed that is.

 

@Whitebutler if you don't take him up on this, I may just have to.

Great day and a great cause. It was an honor helping with this and working with you guys yesterday.

 

Because this thread needs a Stan Lee cameo.
