We wish you Good Luck in keeping the Desert areas open for recreation! Our Grandson, Eric Valkema, loved to ride his Banshee at Glamis & especially to beat everybody up "Competition Hill." Eric, age 25 was killed in an auto accident in Ramona on September 17, 2005. He especially loved Halloween weekend when he shopped for the BIGGEST pumpkin, & he & Friends paraded it around Glamis in his truck. BUT Eric missed out on Halloween this year, & we miss him so much.
In Memory of Eric Valkema of Poway & Ramona, please accept this check to use in your efforts to retain the rights of people to use the desert for off-roading recreational purposes.
