Once In A Lifetime Birthday Roadtrip

After six years of trying I finally won the US Dept. of the Interior's BLM lottery to hike the famous Wave Formation in the Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness near the Utah/Arizona border December 14. On December 2 Tyler and I share a birthday. Tyler turns 38 and I turn 50 and I've invited him to come with me as a birthday present/Christmas bonus to thank him for helping me have an AMAZING year at Pike Place Market. This means the Daystall will be closed for 7-10 days in December. If you have the means, perhaps you could donate the value of a gallon or a tank of gas, a snack or meal or a night's rest at a motel. $2500 is a very conservative estimate of what we'd make if we were open during the trip. The money will be used for permits, guides, gas, food and lodging during our journey and to pay Tyler what he'd make if he were working. So, yeah, if you can, please help!!!
