Mineral County Rescue Angels

A few of the hikers that Bill & I  were with the other day were talking about the high number of rescues that the Mineral County Rescue Service has had to make this summer (So. Fork Tines of Thurs, Aug. 11th  - or 18th, can't remember which!!).
 
We decided that since most of our hikes (both Creede & South Fork hikers) are in Mineral County that it would be nice if we could make a monetary donation to the MCRS on behalf of all of the hikers from both towns.   Both Bill & I heartily recommend this since the MCRS made an AWSOME and EXTREMELY LONG rescue trip for me up on Lake Fork Trail a year ago in June!  Several of us  made donations to them last year and we thought that before our summer visitors go back for the winter it would be nice to do so again.  The rescue service is extremely qualified, as well as totally dedicated, to the excellent care of those in need who are taking advantage of the benefits and beauty of our area.
 
I don't have a list of email addresses of all of the hikers, so I'm wondering if you could help us get the word out to everyone who does hike.  Also, we are hoping that you would be willing to take donations on the next few hikes from those who wish to give something.
Sue Romine in Creede has volunteered to take the collected funds by to the Rescue Service in Creede.  Sue & John are leaving on Sept. 21, so we only have a few hikes left to take in donations. 
 
Please call either Bill or me if you have any questions, and we appreciate your help in getting the word out!
 
Thanks so much!
