    Waxing and Waning

    I got divorced, went back to school and then needed to work 2 jobs to pay off all the debt I accumulated in school. I took about 5 years off from hiking. I did not have the time or the money.

    Sierra Club

    I know the SC has nothing to do with the production of the catalogues. I look at it this way; I was making a donation to an an organization that is supposed to help protect the environment and they turn around give/sell my address to companies that produced these catalogues. Producing the...

    Sierra Club

    I used to think that donating to the Sierra Club was a good thing. BUT, they sell your info to other organizations and you get inudated with junk mail which is not really environmentally sound. Don't beleive it if they say they do not sell. Everytime I have donated, I get catalog after...
