Local Joshua Tree guide Bob has been diagnosed with cancer, and needs to have an MRI. So my friend Sara Susca set up a gofundme account, the URL is below.

I will try to help. I always help people who need it here, and others should as well. You can't take it with you, and it is a kind gesture.


There isn't enough kindness in the world. We are too disconnected.

Done deal.

Under the crusty exterior lurks a heart of gold. Deb and I are pulling for you and Hildi my friend. Let's us know if we can help in any way. We will be there.

Damned cancer. I can't donate right now, but will on next payday. Keeping my fingers crossed that Robert will kick that cancer in the ass quickly.

El Gomezo, you'd better grab Bridwell and Rob Stahl before the end of season. Otherwise I'm going to come visit and die in your living room.

I'll get it together with Ron and the Bird dude. Once Deb gets back we will come out and terrorize your sorry a**. I know some good rituals we can perform.

Well, a sense of humor is its own kind of intelligence AND a sort of health tonic.
Nice to see this is fully intact in you, Robert.

Let's hope that, and the sledgehammer of western medicine pulls you through!

I drove down to see Robert last week. Had a good chat as always and he is staying positive, but he is facing some serious issues here.

I know that seems like the understatement of the year, but the big issue beyond the diagnosis is that Medical is dragging their feet as always, and it pisses me off to no end that people that need help FAST just get blown off.

Robert's been my bud for a long time, and I know that he was pretty adamant about no fundraisers. Well, tough luck pal - you have a lot of friends and we are all going to do what we can to get you well again. You've given more than enough good karma to have some swing back your way.

Stahlbro, I want to come to.

$3565.00 has been raised so far on Go Fund Me on FaceBook. Awesome! The goal is 11,000. Robert needs 10,000 but Go fund takes a cut. I challenge you all to send a few bucks to the fund.

Think of it this way:

+ Todd doesn't need to throw an expensive party
+ You save gas for your vehicle and time....even tho we'd rather have a fundraiser party.
+Dude, Robert, has been the man for many of us....and a friend.
+All of us can chip in a little to save a life. Right?

show it.....lynnie

You MUST be sick.....pun intended....if you want me n Bridwell to visit! Stahl Bro, let's do it, short road trip to hassle Fonda with Jimbo. It'll either cure him or kill him!
Get some projects in order Roberto

Yo Robert....knowing what you're facing is an important step, now you can deal with it and you're one dude who knows how to deal!
I'll help with the MRI...you were a great host to me a few years ago.

Robert truly is the curmudgeon with a heart of gold. Some of my best JTree memories are time spent on the ranch. Gotta get this man his MRI. Otherwise who will shoot at the trespassers? :)
