Apparently for their own tax reasons, as of February 2025 PayPal stopped supporting donations to many small not-for-profit entities, including the San Jacinto Trail Report. Please use one of the various options offered above.
Donations are used for the costs of maintaining the website, and especially for the costs of fieldwork to file updates. This is mainly the replacement of (very!) heavily used equipment, such as boots, gaiters, and traction devices, other worn-out gear, and for some modest vehicle costs. All labor is donated and completely volunteer, currently at about 2000 hours per year.
All funds raised are placed in a bank account specifically established, and used exclusively, for the San Jacinto Trail Report.
Contributors of donations >$20 are recognized on the Supporters page.
Hiking several thousand miles a year to bring you the information and images in the Trail Report requires more mental energy than physical. Knowing that I have the support of those who read and benefit from the Report’s content is a powerful motivational force during many long days in the mountains.
Thank you again for your support.
