During a visit to his class, the following photograph was taken. Here you can see Dr. Goodchild raising his right hand while giving the oath not to leave anyone behind in the wilderness during the aforementioned hike.


Let the bidding begin!

Thanks for the overwhelming interest. I'm doing my best to keep up with your email requests for more information about this hike. Here are the answers to the FAQs:
  1. The winning bidders can pay with any form of payment. Credit or debit can be paid via our donation button located near the top left of this blog. Paypal hosts that account. Check, cash (paper or coin collection) will be collected right before the hike at UCSB.
  2. Yes, more than one bidder can win. Dr. Goodchild graciously makes this provision to keep this opportunity in reach for some of his students taking his course this quarter.
  3. You can subscribe to the the comments. You'll get an email any time someone posts.
Thanks to all for making this fundraiser a success!
