You guys were awesome yesterday! Now this is people that care (like I say it's cause they give a shit about others). It really is a feeling you can't describe. There's not words for it but when you shed a tear I think those who do these things get it. Those who do extraordinary things for others hold a special place. I am forever grateful!

Damn i know those places in Oroville. Looks like feather River Blvd. The pic on the hill was A&M King industries. Damn memories. I worked right by there for a few years.

Spotted: NORCAL TACOMA FIRE RELIEF WAGONS

I initially suggested we do a donation run to Oroville for fire victims. My wife and I were so struck by the devastation in Paradise. I felt compelled to get up there with clothing, and other necessities, and I wanted to do it immediately. That day. I tried to get it going on Monday, Veterans Day, or maybe during the week. That proved to be logistically impossible.

But, thanks to Matt @Uphillshunter , who had similar notions, and had suggested Saturday, it happened.

Here are the list of participants:
@Uphillshunter
@Fernando
@rob1208
@Twizted
@Sharkfrog
@CalTacoma09
@Papadave418
@lucky13don
@Don5352

Here are just a few of the things we gathered up prior to departure.

After everyone was loaded up we met at the WalMart near Arco Arena in Sacramento. All but one. We met @Twizted in Yuba City for the run into Gridley.
There we made our first donations at a spot that a friend of Matts wife was running.

This gave us our first opportunity to show off our Relief Wagons.

From here it was on to Oroville to the Church of Nazarene. Turns out they were so overwhelmed with evacuess, and supplies, that were we directed to the Hope Center. My friend Dale Marsh, from the Church, directed us to the proper location, and even flagged us down on the street when we pulled up. The Hope Center was well organized. Even this place was being overwhelmed, and a new spot is being identified for storage of goods. They had a nice set up, with a drive through lane. You pull up, they unload, and off you go. All nine trucks were emptied within 15 minutes.

The people at the Hope Center were amazing, and very grateful for our contributions. One of the directors there also owned a Taco, so he asked us if we would line up our trucks for a picture. He wanted to put it in their newsletter. So, naturally, we obliged.

Everyone is standing near their truck. All but John, whose truck barely fit in the last spot. So tight he couldn't open his door.

Smokey as hell up there, as you might well imagine. But we made do.

From the Hope Center it was back to Gridley. Anything else we had left went to the fair grounds where the Red Cross has set up a large camp. Human and equine evacuees were being housed there. In most cases Red cross only takes new items. We only had GOOD used items, but as they were being slammed they took everything we had. then it was back to the Gridley distribution center where we started. They had a need to move sleeping bags and pads to a new facility in Yuba City. As half our group was heading back to Sac we volunteered to make that happen. Uphillshunter and twizted headed up to Anderson to take up some items to @Whitebutler . I do believe libations were among that haul.

Thanks to all of you who made this happen. You're the greatest.

You guys are awesome. Wish I could have been a part.

I've got so much crap in my pod in Washington I would love to give to people. But in order to rent a place at this point I'll need to sell all that stuff! Prices just keep going up with all these fires.

Also, buddy of mine just lost his house in the Paradise area. I'm just happy for him it was a rental and nobody was currently renting it.

Sold my ‘85 pickup

Already have my eye on a super clean YJ on 1-ton axles

Needs a motor though.

Sad face... I wish I was in a different position financially when you put it up, would have loved to take it off your hands.

It was a good little truck. Built right IMO. New owner is stoked.

I’m ready for a new project.

Damn the whole world is burning up with fires. Was out of country for 2 weeks and same thing there. I would say air quality and visibility was even worse there. Sometimes you couldn't see more than 300 or 400 feet

Lol...yup that's how we do it. Driving there was confusing as hell. Almost got in to accident couple of times.

Edit: Even though driving is dangerous there, but it is fun as hell...no one follow rules. You just make your own rules as you go. People honking everywhere for no fucking reason. The best part is overtaking other cars...makes you feel like you are in a video game.

Why do the guys that drive these roller skates all seem to be complete douche bags? It wasn't enough to have his shit LED headlights pointing up because of the bro lean, he had to have his light bar on. I guess he forgot about the 50 incher on the roof.

It's my belief that those hold some sort of hidden message too the alternative life style community!
