Put an Email out to everyone at work. Should have a truck load of clothing in the morning. Will try to do a Costco run tonight after work.

Im so very impressed with the folks on here willing and caring enough to help out when people are in distress. If the world had more S&Mudders it would be a much better place. Big hugz to the people of Slave Lake, youre not on your own with all this.

I have the stock trailer, my concern there is that it is not 100% enclosed, but the weather is supposed to be nice....

I also have the high rise canopy on the diesel still so if we are doing the drop in edmonton I can stuff my truck...

If snowandmud was to have trailers in a said location possibly Thursday evening we could use a few members assistance to help take donations and fill a sled trailer full. Please pm me if you can help. This would be from 5-9 somewhere south.

Wind has been 28 to 40 km/h today(according to the SL weather on Envrio Canada)....so hopefully all those water-droppin' aircraft are in the air doing what they do.
