Tuesday, April 14, 2009

For a number of years, pro-access government employees have strongly urged the BlueRibbon Coalition to obtain official status in the Combined Federal Campaign Charity List.

Jeep Netting from a BlueRibbon Supporter

If you're a Jeep owner and want to protect your precious (or dangerous if flying around) cargo in the back seat, check out this netting I just installed in our Jeep from Safari Straps. Besides being cool stuff and well made, the makers of this netting are supporting BlueRibbon Coalition (http://www.sharetrails.org/) in a big way.

I have a short write up and install pics here:

Please remember, whatever you ride, to buy from folks like these who are supporting our land use and access efforts.

Thanks, Del
