As for the expenses incurred, it has cost in the range $20,000 plus for my defense, (however, all four of my Attornys have insisted on their services being PRO-BONO, or no cost to me) and soon we will know how much the U.S.A. spent of OUR tax dollars to bring this to trial! I am NOT soliciting donations, as there are several groups that hopefully will step forward and cover some additional expenses, plus with the 'defense fund' contributions sent in by you in the Power Wagon world, my personal expenses were pretty well taken care of! In fact, now that all is said and done, I intend in the next few weeks to take the balance of the mony in my 'defense fund' and split it in half and donate it to this website as well as Gordon Maney's website to help support them. I do have a project that needs your support and I will write a new thread later in regards to it. You will have a chance to take part in purchasing an actual public campground that has been bought out from under the U.S. Forest Service! I am going to donate into it as soon as I have the funds! It happens to be the campground that our Idaho Trail Ride has been using the last 8 years! But, again, it's late and I will post on this later!! THANKS TO ALL AGAIN!! By the way, the picture above is of Me, and all the people, witnesses, Attornys, and other supporters that were present at the trial, I must note that two fine people are not in the picture as they were taking the picture for me, they are Loren and Cheryl Todd, of Sacramento, California. Theye have been attending the Idaho Trail Ride for many years now and they drove from Sacramento to Reno to be at my trial!! Thanks again!!
