I'm happy to chip in $20 too. There's two things I've always been told to do at the Paradice parking, 1) always close the gate behind you and 2) if anyone tries to come in by vehicle to tell them it's private parking and they need to park outside the gate someplace else. I've had to tell a handfull of people they couldn't park there. Courtney

Not to mention the fact that Stano's bench is there.... no you know what screw that, I will keep taking out at the normal spot, if you need stairs well .... get to stepping, I can handle the scramble.
I have fond memories of the stairs from when i swam and partied there in the 80's and started running the lower in the 90's in kayaks. I guess i just miss that side of the river. It was a cool takeout and put-in. Really pretty over there.

Good point, Courtney. I've had to tell people they couldn't park in there, too, mainly D4, but I don't share that with too many people. Just kidding, I don't tell D4 he has to stay out  It is private, and technically if you aren't paid up on your WKC dues no one should be in there. WKC is who has the deal with the land owner. When's the work party? I have a cement mixer.

So Nicole LeBlanc said they stopped by the owner's place last weekend to introduce themselves and make the offer of help/funding in person, she said he may take people up on it. He is apparently not in a big hurry to fix things right now, I guess it is more of an issue for him when the weather gets warmer and more of the general public starts heading that way, but since we don't want things to fall by the wayside she said she will contact him again at the end of the month if she hasn't heard from him before then.
How are we doing on this end? Has there been any coordinated effort to collect funds? If we had a Paypal account set up, how do people in general feel about donating via that, do most people feel OK chipping in via Paypal? It's just a thought, that might be the easiest way rather than expecting people to mail checks, etc.

I'd be more willing to donate in person, but in the end I'll do whatever will right the situation. The key thing for now is to keep this thread near the top of the heap. If it comes down to Paypal so be it. I'm in favor of meeting the owner directly if possible and/or contributing money at the time of a work party if there is one. I'd even blow off such opportunities as running Robe or getting laid (such experiences are nearly synonomous) to show up for this and get it taken care of.
