Sugarlands Rally and Informational Demonstration 4/21/12

I was proud to be in the company of fellow Southern Forest Watch coalition members who donated their saturday to spread the message. Despite the looming threat of rain, the weather held off until our mission for the day was completed. We were very well received. Myers and his daughters provided musical entertainment, many questions were answered and hundreds of folks are now properly informed about this tax on backpackers. Adam had his fly fishing gear, Gregg and I laid out backpacking gear for folks to check out and try on and we held a drawing for Jim's book. So many people asked what they could do and we pointed them in the direction of the Department of Interior and Congressman Duncan.

the kids were very involved!
