If El Camino Central is to remain fully self-supporting, we will have to continue relying on member contributions.  While Google ads help off-set my out-of-pocket expenses, it still does not cover the cost maintaining the site.  We are currently residing on the new server, which was paid for exclusively from user donations.
We have decided to offer paid subscriptions to the site offering enhanced user benefits for subscribers.  While site access will continue to be free, we hope members will find the advantages of paid subscriptions  a worthwhile investment.

Please consider upgrading your account for added features and no Google ads!
