Ways to Give

Other Ideas:
-We're planning to take our bikes on a boat from Isle Royale, MI across Lake Superior to Grand Portage, MN! It's a 7 hour ride, and is supposed to be excellent and totally beautiful. We're in need of two tickets for Sunday June 29. We'd love help purchasing these tickets.
-As part of the bike tour, we're planning to take a Canadian train from Jasper, Alberta to Vancouver, BC. The train tickets cost $155 each (wowza!). Any help with these tickets would be great!
-A night in a hotel/hostel/cabin:
Most nights we plan to camp, but the occasional treat of staying indoors with a hot shower and a bed would be special! It will usually be hard to pick a specific place ahead of time, as our trip will be in flux as we go. We're figuring $70 might be an average price.
-RIDES! We are going to need rides in cars a couple of times (or otherwise rent a car). We'd love to ride with friends, so if you have a somewhat flexible schedule and are interested in a little ROAD TRIP!, here are the needs:
-From Salt Lake City to Bozeman, MT (or some part of that.)
-From Steamboat Springs, Colorado to Salt Lake City UT (or some part)
-From Crescent City, CA to Ft. Bragg, CA
Beyond the trip
Home Savings- If you want to give a very permanent gift you can make a contribution of any size that we'll save and add to a nestegg to be used strictly for the purchase of land or house.
THANK YOU!! WOW!!
-a RIDE from St Paul to Iowa! Recieved! Thank you!!
-An iphone, Received!! Thank you!! we know this is a BIG gift, but we're thinking that it would be awesome to not have to carry our computer, phone and camera all summer when we could have it all in one small gadget. It will help us lighten our load, keep us in touch with friends, family, and work, and will simplify things quite a bit. http://www.apple.com/
