P.S. It'll be our "little secret." I won't tell anybody how you were wiggling around on the tailgate of that wagon!

On second thought... I don't wanna see any pictures....

Richard8971 · 01-03-2009, 03:44 AM

Eh, keep the salt, I have plenty here.

LOL

I couldn't help clicking on keeping the salt.

The money helping the site is a good idea.

Personally I think this is an awesome idea...i for one would love to have some salt from Bonneville Salt Flats...especially since I will probably never see it for myself...

I think Mike and Andy are awesome for doing this...and I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that more folks haven't voted.....

I was in the same boat with you...but I voted raffle.

Sillyoldman · 01-03-2009, 02:33 PM

Since not everyone gets to go on a road trip how about send the road trip (sand) to a member? Then that member posts his/her picture with the sand and location, Makes a donation then sends it to the next member that Pm's their address then repeat.

Mike desrves credit for this one. His idea, all i did was offer an idea or two to 'polish' it up a bit.

**fine69** · 01-03-2009, 03:09 PM

I too am a little disapointed that more have not voted. Sorta shocked actually.
