As I am sure everyone has seen, Haiti has been decimated by a very horrific earth quake.

During my 31 years on this pale blue dot, I have found that nature lovers, hikers, and backpackers are some of the most compassionate people I have ever met.

If you have the means (and if you're viewing this web site, then chances are you do) Please donate anything you can to the relief effort in Haiti http://www.reddit.com/tb/apnsu

100% of all donations from the above link are sent to the relief effort, no money goes to overhead or administrative costs! -Socal Trails
