SIMPLY MY BEST

UPDATE: This was the website where we figured out what SMB would be. Then we created a new site for SMB 2014. Then, in March, 2014, we launched a REAL website for the event and our nonprofit called Pilot Butte Summit Seekers. Check it out...

WWW.PILOTBUTTESUMMITSEEKERS.ORG

Kind of cool to watch it change from something we literally made up as we went along to something that was built on the efforts of so many and actually planned to some degree. It will be fun to watch the new website take shape over the coming months.

Btw, if you haven't heard, SMB 2014 is May 10th!

Note: Many functions on this old site have been removed or disabled, but the blog remains as a record of the SMB journey.

Idea walk this Friday at 9:00 am

Denny Sullivan will be taking people on a hike in the park where he will share his ideas about what could be done to improve the park and facilitating discussion so that others can share their ideas.  It sounds like it will be a great opportunity to brainstorm ideas for things that SMB might vote on in 2014.  That's important because we expect to raise a lot more money next year.

Denny and I have been talking since he got back from wintering in California.  Turns out he was way ahead of us on several things.  For example, I thought it was a new idea for a dog exercise area near the trailhead.  I had a location in mind where I thought it might work.  So I mentioned it to Denny thinking he probably had not thought of that idea.  He then took me to the exact place I had chosen and then described for me his vision of the dog exercise area.  It was much better than what I had in mind. We also brainstormed some ways to get it done this year on the cheap if we can get park approval.

The walk should be interesting.  He says it takes almost two hours.  We'll meet at the first trailhead kiosk at 9:00 on Friday.
