I urge members of these groups to consider supporting the Muir Project at Kickstarter

I know many in these 3 groups have been on the John Muir Trail (JMT) in the
California High Sierras. I am hoping you will visit some of these links.
These people have the most amazing talent in film whom have done the JMT
hike and want to show the world it's wonders and are doing a most fantastic
job. Look at some of their videos done to date.
Start with their phenomenal video <http://vimeo.com/28965851> . It shows
the excitement of the JMT in about 3 minutes of a most professionally done
video.
Then go to The Muir Project <http://vimeo.com/themuirproject> - Kickstart
link <http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/themuirproject>. Their Home
page<http://themuirproject.com/>
.
A kickstarter documentary about their fund raising efforts is here, good
page<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themuirproject/mile-mile-and-a-half-a-feature-documentary?ref=live>to
start reading.
So far this is their progress, they are about 53% on their mark towards
their goal and are at the half-way point in their fund raising effort.
This project will only be funded if at least $78,100 is pledged by Friday
Sep 28, 3:10am EDT. How Kickstarter
works.<http://www.kickstarter.com/learn-more>
They have a bunch of incredible pledge-level "gifts" listed at this
page<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themuirproject/mile-mile-and-a-half-a-feature-documentary?ref=live>(given
above too). See right hand frame. I love the $211 level gift.
Pledges are valid at $1 up though. One gets their film at a $35 level.
A Kickstarter FAQ is here: http://www.kickstarter.com/help?ref=footer
The two most important questions and answers are these -- they were on the
top of my mind!
1. If I make a pledge, when is my card charged?
If the project you’re backing is successfully funded, your card will be
charged when the project reaches its funding deadline. If the project does
not reach its funding goal, your card is never charged. That's why we call
them pledges.
2. If funding does not succeed do backers pay anything?
Nothing. If funding is unsuccessful, all pledges are canceled and that's
that.
Jason (from the Muir Project), if you want to reply to this, go right ahead.
For those who have not seen their first video on the JMT, this is it -- the
best short video made yet on the JMT trail that is professionally done and
with great visual/audio excitement.
