I have been going to Moonrks for about 7 years for memorial weekend. Who else is going this year??? :mr-t:

Looks like the White Trash Renegades will be there!:grinpimp:

Wonder if the Sonora posse will be up there again this year? I was up there when they were filming one year.

I'll be there! It's one of SoPo's favorite annual trips. (and Sammi's B-day)

Lets hope for good weather!

As always, pick up your trash and leave the trees alone! I know it gets posted every year, but for some reason every year someone/group still messes up. This is one of my favorite trips, but the idiots were thick enough last year that some swore they wouldn't come again. Lets police ourselves and don't let it get ruined.

Post up your pics from years past if ya got em!

totally agree !!!! Is there going to be any filming going on this year? I have pics of past moonrock trips coming up. I have a pic from one memorial when it was 95 degrees out and got a sunburn then the next morning it was snowing.

some smaller lines behind the big stuff at moonrocks .. look at the trailers in the background this place gets packed

I wouldn't count on Mike being there, but ya never know. He was supposed to come to Cal-Neva a few weeks back but ended up not being able to make it. I'll give him a call and remind him for sure.

Here's a few randoms I have saved from last year. Good Times!

HERE is the memorial weekend that was about 97 and got a sun burn on friday and this was sat.

Love it there!!! Yea, NOT!!! And I don't even know why...

Almost everyone's rig is being torn down and rebuilt right now.

The carson crew will be there to rase some hell:D

gonna be up there for the first time this year....from the looks of things there should be plenty of spectator sports...:D

Im sure since there is alot of trails with a ton of snow on them this is going to be a huge group of rigs. Lets keep the garbage cleaned up out there, no burning the trees and remember the wind gets crazy out there so keep your trash,cans and junk held down.

Really would like to get up there this year, on the fence right now about it. May just come up without the rig to spectate for the day...

I'll be out there, be my firstish wheelin trip with the new toy. And besides it's only 20 minutes from my house. But yea let's keep it clean I'd hate to see it get trashed out there.

We will be there! 2 of our buddies and stuck at the pass cause of snow.

Tanked- Where are you guys out of? saw your red and white toyota in Calistoga yesterday.

See everyone Saturday. Should be fun!

waiting on some driveflanges and i wll be down there myself.. Last year was a blast, i expect it to be no different this year.

We are all over the place. Have a couple from lake county a couple from petaluma and winsor and im up in gardnerville nv. You saw aaron watch out for him, he's a nut.

on monday morning early I am going to start at v crack and work my way around with some bags to pick up garbage if anyone would want to join me. Ill bring some extra bags if anyone wants.

Ill be picking up what ever i see anytime im out wheeling like most should be. lets keep this place clean!

that is a practice that I keep too. Just going the extra mile so that we can keep wheelin there. seems like after a huge weekend someone gets on these boards and goes off about how dirty it gets. So on monday Ill make sure it is good to go.

hey guuys im new here, where is moon rock at? i know dumb question

hey guuys im new here, where is moon rock at? i know dumb question

Just go on google maps and type in Moonrocks, NV. The directions are good and everything :smokin:

I'm thinking about going out.

hey guuys im new here, where is moon rock at? i know dumb question

head out 80 east, take pyriamid hwy (i think 431?, not sure on that), stay on pyriamid hwy all the way through sparks and you eventually get to a fork, go left (winnemucca ranch road i think) and just cruise on that until it turns into dirt road. By that point you will begin to see others heading out there. It is really easy to get to.

dallas

Yup its on the left two or three miles after it turns to dirt. Cant miss it!

well no fawkin drive flanges yet:mad3:, so I may just be wheeling on my feet with a backpack full of beer watching the mayhem. I guess on the bright side I wont be fixing my junk after this weekend getting it ready for the summer season.:grinpimp: see everyone on saturday

dallas

I wouldn't call it a "fork". Pyramid continues straight, but Winnemucca Ranch rd is the first paved road you'll see for a while and runs about 45 degrees to Pyramid. You'll come up over a hill and it can sneak up on you.

Ya your right, I just didn't know how else to explain it. It definitely can sneak up on you.

Also after it turns to dirt, the turn is past the fence on left!

with a sign that looks like this!:smokin:

is there anyone heading up saturday sometime? im thinking about going up just to watch and check things out...never been.

I decided that the weather was too suck to go out there. I'm thinking of Monday now. Report says 70°.

We just got home from spending the day out there. It was packed ! Lots of nice rigs, and lots of fun!:smokin:

I'm going out there on Monday.

Bet it is sucking out there right now. Snowing here in Reno pretty hard. We were out there thursday and ran one of our local trails then came and played with the Sonora Posse on the rocks for a while. HotJimmy was getting it, took me on a new line that we dont think had been done before.

Hot Jimmy alway's get's it!!! Well so does everyone else in SONORA POSSE, That's how we do it!!!:laughing:

Jimmy was totally getting it Friday night! Doin' all kinds of tough lines in his big ass buggy. Then I guess he blew a ring and pinion and was done for the weekend. :(

I was out there Friday and Saturday night. There were a ton of people out there and no one was wheelin' last night. The weather was complete shit. Cold as fuck with rain and snow on and off from 5 to midnight.

My wife lost her iPhone 3GS 8g with a girly bling case on Friday night at moon rocks. It fell out of the rig somewhere that night. There was a lot of personal info on it.

If you found it or know somebody who did please contact me. I will offer a small reward.

Looks just like this.

Had a great weekend. Work on the buggy mostly. I noticed a lot of trash bags being used. Hope everyone cleaned up their shit so we can continue using the land!

Thanks guys! What a fun weekend! The weather sucked bad, but I still had an awesome time. Thanks Jesse for showing me that big line, that was a nutty spot for sure! Yeah I broke a rear R&P about 20 mins after you took off. I'm sure my bouncing up that ledge is what stressed it :laughing:

sierravalley, I'm sure it's been done before. There aren't too many lines out there anymore that haven't been done. A smaller rig would make that line way easier than mine. Thanks for riding around with me for sure, it was nice to meet ya.

The garbage wasn't nearly as bad I've seen before, but we did manage to pick up a black bag full of cans/trash around the crackline area. My scientific observation was that Coors light drinkers like to litter more than Bud light drinkers 10:1:laughing:

Here's that video of you getting that line at the moonrocks:

I didn't know anyone got that, Thats awesome!

I didn't know anyone got that, Thats awesome!

That is a sick ass line, where is that line? any pics of it in the daylight?

I don't have any pics of it during the day right now, I'll look.

EDIT: Nope, I don't have any pics of this wall because I haven't seen anyone try it.

RockApe has a pic of his buggy on it in the daylight on the first page of this thread. I'll have a tough time describing where it is, although it is in plain sight and everyone drives right by it. I know I've never even looked at it until Jesse lined up.

Its below Smokeline (I think that's the name of the line) in the dirt lot area. There was a DJ set up in that area last year.

Basicly, that line is above this rig farther back along the wall, almost around the corner.

Was a pretty damn good time this year! I gave my grand cherokee one hell of a flogging haha. Lost the drivers front window on the crack, then blew a rear u-joint and broke 2 teeth off my rear 9" trying the wall to the right of the crack.

It definately wasn't as busy as last year though, I think the weather kept people away. It was windy as hell at times, rainy and snowing on and off through the weekend. It didn't stop everyone from havin a great time though :D

took me on a new line that we dont think had been done before.

Here a shot of that line we were playing with.

Yes it was a fun weekend! Weather not that great but it could have been a lot worse. had fun anyway. didnt get too many pictures but heres one of the camp anyway.

Good Times...

Thanks! That eases the pain a little. But what's weird is the case was found dumped in the trash at the nearest gas station. My buddy lost his wallet and was searching around looking for his cards and stuff and saw it. Almost like it was dumped. Anyways it's been suspended and reported stolen. We have an upgrade in a few weeks so she can get another one.

I did pull a fat wheel stand on that road that winds between the tree and bushes. With no floor boards it just disappeared...... Lol

I had a great time even tho I only made it out Saturday, I dented up my fresh first gen like a idiot since I didn't have sliders and really wasn't ready to wheel it yet but shit happens. I went back on Monday to ride my dirtbike and was a little dissapointed to see the place trashed tho... I was intending on picking up all the bs I could find and me and some friends were gonna stack all the unburned wood and pallets an have a fire but I managed to slam a rock while riding with my left foot and break it.

Even with a boot on my big toe shattered and split my foot from the to the bottom and I had to have surgery today to patch it up. So no wheelin or riding for 6-12 weeks they say. I'll be ready for next year again! Just hopefully not broken

I was out there yesterday picking up trash. The place is a dump now. I guess it's like this every year. I don't understand why fellow offroaders would trash a place like that. And, yes, I seen them do it. Some guys over by Smokeline really trashed it up and just left.

If you bring it, you should take it with you when you leave. It's just totally disrespectful. And the place is going to be shut down because of it.

sounds like where he found it, but, maybe not hers if the cover was found at a gas station.. :( i cant understand why people steal phones, they are all registered products :shaking:
i hauled out a full black trash bag of shit when i left sunday eve. what kills me is the glass bottles all over :shaking:

Had a good weekend I guess. Rolled it backwards Saturday night on a wall climb and bent /broke the front of the frame and bent a coil over. Then the next day the truck wouldn't start. Wheeled a lot though. Also did a complete roll on friday night almost back into it's wheels.

This is fuckin stupid, I dont understand why us wheelers cant pick up our shit when we are done. I have been wheeling since I was a kid, and we always pick up what we brought, and more. Moonrocks will get shut down for being too trashed and we will no longer be able to play there. I personally enjoy the terrain, and the four wheeling, but I decided not to go this year because of too many ass hats that dont know how to go slow around the camping area, and for all the damn trash left behind. You assholes know who you are, and if you dont like my attitude twords the situation I invite you to come have a talk with me about it. I bet you didnt see the bloody stump wheelers camp all fucked up with trash when they left! :shaking: :mad3:

Speaking of stuff that's hard to understand....I was watching a guy in a 4-Runner Saturday night, he rolled on his side trying to climb something and someone pulled him back over. I drove over beside where he was and was watched him try the same line again. After watching for a minute I realized the guy wasn't wearing a seat belt and didn't have doors, a door bar, or anything. I just don't get it. :shaking:

Amen. When the night crawlers left we picked up everything in our general area. We had a few large bags full. People will get the hint when places shit down and they ask why

:mad3:Yeah the trash was bad this year. Sunday night a couple car loads of teenage locals show up. Big fire lots of drinking, normal shit. Monday morning there was like 3 cases of beer cans left behind from them :mad3:. Its not just the wheelers leaving trash. We pickup our area and went out Monday morning and picked up a black trash bags full of cans before we left.

Now for the wost part of the weekend. Some mother fucker in a RV towing a orange mid 70s Toyota hilux truck drained his shitter right in the middle of camp. Driving right past our camp just straight dumping his tank. If anybody sees this mother fucker he needs his ass kicked. I know if I ever see him or any of my club members see him he wont be able to walk away :mad3:.

There is my rant. Other then that we had a blast this weekend. Now where are all the pics. Come on people post up some pics. I have tons just got to go through them and then ill get some posted.

There is my rant. Other then that we had a blast this weekend. Now where are all the pics. Come on people post up some pics. I have tons just got to go through them and then ill get some posted.

That was my dad, he didn't realize the hose popped off the tank when he was pulling out of camp. Defiantly didn't do it on purpose. Sorry about it

noticed all the atvs out there .... think ill have to come have a look next year .... getting a bit old for shasta lol

I am curious, how do you drive through camp with your shit tank spewing out all over everyones camp site and not hear anyone yelling at you, or notice a trail you are leaving? is that what our sport has come to? dumbasses all around?:confused:

x2^^ i call bs

New trailer with the rig on it.

I made it up v crack 2nd attempt with a pos carb. Beck got v crack for the first time on this trip :woohoo:

cant speak for everyone but I and the people that I was with set examples. We cleaned up our garbage on our roll overs and flops. We cleaned up our camp site and I also met a few people at v crack monday morning and we got out 4 bags of others garbage and a cooler. When people saw us cleaning they joined in and got to cleaning.

I am curious, how do you drive through camp with your shit tank spewing out all over everyones camp site and not hear anyone yelling at you, or notice a trail you are leaving? is that what our sport has come to? dumbasses all around?:confused:

now i wasnt there ... but it does happen ... a buddy of mine went camping with us in a fairly primitave area and broke the cap off his black water tank on a big ass rock .... didnt notice till the CO sheriff pulled him over about 5 miles later with the cap dangling .... needless to say he had a lot of explaning to do but was given a warning since they hadnt used the toilet at all so it was empty when it broke (campground had a shitter and they just peed in the woods)

so if you go out to any trail, PICK YOUR FUCKIN TRASH UP! its easy!




hey, how about some pictures if there were so many people there.

hey sorry for the mess.my black tank must have bottemed out and pulled the hose loose. ican only say that i didnt know and apologise for the mess it made ive never had that happen before and will definetly be more careful. thats all i can say Im very embaresed. hope you understand. I would also be very upset. I can also say that i left with more garbage than i came with and always do.SORRY

:mad3:Yeah the trash was bad this year. Sunday night a couple car loads of teenage locals show up. Big fire lots of drinking, normal shit. Monday morning there was like 3 cases of beer cans left behind from them :mad3:. Its not just the wheelers leaving trash. We pickup our area and went out Monday morning and picked up a black trash bags full of cans before we left.

Now for the wost part of the weekend. Some mother fucker in a RV towing a orange mid 70s Toyota hilux truck drained his shitter right in the middle of camp. Driving right past our camp just straight dumping his tank. If anybody sees this mother fucker he needs his ass kicked. I know if I ever see him or any of my club members see him he wont be able to walk away :mad3:.

I know how you feel Joe, but I am positive that this was in error. I've been around Steve and his dad enough that I would vouch on their character. They are not the kind of people that would do that.

we noticed the same kids. they brought a bunch of pallets to burn. WTF don't people realize pallets are held together by NAILS that dont fawking burn. nice, leave those there for us to get flat tires from. they left around 2 or three in the morning and left thier pile smoldering and shit everywhere. some people need to be sterilized at birth.

i could also vouch that this did not happen on purpose. i wheel with steve and his dad all the time and the are stand up people. i have not even spoke to steve since he got back and i know he feels bad for what happened.

I've been getting to know Steve and his dad also, definately wouldn't be on purpose!

Our camp also got to enjoy the local yahoos first hand, in this pic the CB cord circled our camp and you can see my red tent. They were just to the left of us down next to that rock face. We actually wheeled that obstacle next to the area a few times and you want to know the awesome part? We found a couple dozen rusty nails ON THE FAWKING OBSTACLE...apparently pallets are just the cool thing to be burning, especially directly on the fawking trails?

I'm pissed that I didn't even glance at my tires after trusting a brand new air gauge to air them down...10lbs on the gauge ended up being 14 PSI...its obvious my tires are full as hell in all the pics.

I tried the crack until I popped my drivers side front window falling in


and I don't know the name of this obstacle, it's right above smoke line I think? but I went at it for like 5 minutes...I just couldn't get the jeep to slide over the frame side link mounts

And I gave the wall just to the right of the crack hell for a while too...ended up pushing too hard and taking out a rear u-joint and breaking a couple teeth off my rear 9" ring gear at the end of this video, AS I MAKE IT UP! Talk abut a pisser haha
YouTube - ‪Agitated Pancake u-joint carnage at Moon Rocks 4/30/11‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dsHtP4Ewh4)

So with a couple hi lift jacks we had to make some magic happen with 2 hi lifts and some ingenuity so I could swap the new front 3rd member to the rear so I could drive it 150 miles home :flipoff2: :D

We camped in the first upper camping area (about 1/2 mile up the road from the main area).
We picked up at least 100+ pallet nails all over the place.
Next time I'm going to bring a magnet on a stick to clear the area we will be in.

Here are some more shots of the area taken just before the pic above.
This was Sunday afternoon around 2-4pm.
Half of the people had left before this. (all of the spots between cars were full Fri/Sat).

the trash was pretty bad this year for sure... other than that, and the wind, it was an awesome weekend. PICS!!!!! i know people were taken pictures out there... im hopin my buggy will pop up in one of them :D

whoever had the black buggy that was attempting the wall next to v-crack on friday that rolled and recovered in the last second making it land on all fours (very nice recovery i might say) i'm the guy that caught it all on video. the file is to big to load directly on here so PM me and i'll e-mail it to ya.

Send it to mine yoter@sbcglobal.net and I will get it to him.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

On friday night one of the guys in our group either lost or had his portable welder stolen. It has a yellow painted stripe on the box. If someone found it there is a $100.00 for you. Just a shot in the dark.

any word on the guy that took a screw to the head saturday night, think he was with the sonora posse? hope all is well..

screw to the head?? jesus....



on a side note, im surprised no one has brought up the huge accident that happened with the pre runner truck and the 1st gen pick up out there. there was a girl air lifted?

huh, i didn't see any choppers?
yeh, it was at buttcrack, a jeep rolled over, i guess the passenger caught a roof screw with his head.. someone said he was actually an emt, somehow, (standing directly on the left side of buttcrack,) i saw the roll but missed the guy jump out and bolt off to get help... it was a busy night..

My suggestion for the area.

Organize a Clean up for this coming weekend. BLM's tried to shut it down more than once.

Find all the nails, trash and human waste, pick it up and dispose of it.

Be proactive.

Bebe

Ya he's fine just a small cut to the head. You know how head wounds are.....

on a side note, im surprised no one has brought up the huge accident that happened with the pre runner truck and the 1st gen pick up out there. there was a girl air lifted?

The Toyota people were camping next to us.
Girl was ejected (no seat belts), driver was unconscious for 8+ min.
That is what I was told.

Harness's and cage, can't fix stupid. Hope all is well...

screw to the head?? jesus....

Any updates on the girl? Who was the pre runner? I recognize the toyota in the pics.

Girl was air lifted just to be safe, her ankle was hurt. Did not break anything, guy had stitches in the head. They are ok.

I heard a rumor that it was a silver or white Camburg truck, though that was only a rumor and I never saw it in person.

I believe they are both doing OK, and a friend of a friend knows them so i'll try to get some updates. I believe I saw the driver of the 'yota driving his own tow rig w/ that yota in tow out of the place monday morning, so he was alright

*edit* he beat me to it haha

No screw was involved, I just bumped my head on the cage. It was my fault. I noticed that my head was close to the cage when I jumped in, but decided that I would just slouch in the seat a bit and tighten the belt. I know better, but ohh well.

I am a fire/paramedic and I knew I was fine, but I just didn't want to panic all the people there, so I rushed out. Our camp was right there, so I just went back to my camper and cleaned up. It is amazing how much a scalp cut can bleed. Sorry if I scared anyone, I was actually back out there within 10-15 minutes.

It is retarded though how many people where driving around with their harnesses hanging out of their cabs. When we were standing on our platform in front of our camp, we yelled/ heckled several who drove by like that. most just stared and kept driving...

That's an unfortunate situation with the two trucks, but it's good everyone ended up being ok. That is a perfect example of how fast things can happen. BUCKLE UP! Always! I'm so OCD about it that I notice myself feeling awkward even driving my rig into the shop or onto the trailer unbuckled.





MORE PICS! LESS DRAMA! It was a fun weekend!

X 1000

Every trip I go on is with Steve and his dad. He is always more than careful and has been around long enough to the harmful effects something like that can have on our wheeling community. Accidents happen and it sucks when it reflects bad on us as a whole.

Throughout the entire weekend(and every weekend) we have done our part to keep the trails clean. He carries more oil spill kits then anyone I've seen!

All in all great weekend! Nice meeting some of you.

I have yet to make it to Moonrocks but it sounds like this past Memorial Weekend was a bit crazy and the trash/nails/etc may have gotten a little out of hand. Glad no one was hurt too bad in the accident. If I wasn't so damn busy right now I'd offer to form a clean up for this Saturday/Sunday. Don't give BLM any more fuel for their fire...

Great pics. Can't wait until I can finally make it out here. :smokin:

Send it to mine yoter@sbcglobal.net and I will get it to him.

tried to send it, the file's way to big, gonna see about getting it edited down.

This sucks it seem like our local group gets stuck cleaning it up every year !! The guys from over the hill never come back to help with the clean-Up !! COME OVER TO NEVADA TRASH THE PLACE THEN RELY ON THE LOCALS TO CLEAN IT UP . Year after year, I think next year I will be out there to Police it taking pics and video of the douchebags !! Sorry for the Rant but its getting old.

and yes more pics please :flipoff2:

Anybody get any pics of my cruiser going over twice n the crack? Just wondering cuz I don't have any pics of it ...

I didn't even bother showing up this year,and I live 16 miles away... It sure brings the awesome to click on my local board and see someone trying to organize yet another clean up.... This shit is old. Now I'm more convinced than ever to keep our local straight up badass trails secret. Does anyone else wonder why the state to our west has virtually no places to wheel? I don't.

People are going to be yahoos whether they came from California or Nevada, it's not like you snap your fingers as you cross the border and everyone becomes assholes. Honestly, keep the trails secret, because I agree that's what needs to happen to keep them around nowadays, but do you really think all the BS that goes on comes from californians only? I see it everywhere I go, it's just how some uninformed/worthless people like to act with this sport, unfortunately.

Ya but people come out to moon rocks and think its a free fer all. Ive seen it many times over the years and im pretty tired of it. You all are going to fuck it up for everyone. I know most do a decent job, but if you dont stop the people and educate the ones who are making a mess then you are just as much to blame. Guess we will pick up after you all once again.:flipoff2:

Here is my quick little observation, I was up there and the area I camped at was super clean when I left. BUT right next to us was a shit ton of LOCAL NEVADA KIDS that came out just to party on friday night. They made a huge mess!! They got hammered and got in a fight that somehow made its way into our campsite in the middle of the night, and knocked a bunch of the dirt bikes down and broke a bunch of chairs. They all left in the morning and left burnt chairs and pallets in the fire, glass liquor bottles on the ground and cans everywhere!! So don't point fingers at certain people cause all those peeps came from your side of the mountain. I am coming back up two moon rocks next weekend for my bachelor party, we will do a cleanup of the area again before we leave.

I don't care who left the garbage, I'm pretty sure it wasn't just wheelers or punk kids or dirt bikers........ But we ALL have to chip in and ensure that these people don't get these kickass places shut down. :D

Not blaming everyone from that side of the mountain, Some of the locals ARE part of the problem to. How about a Yearly pirate cleanup early June Every year.

Thanx for offering to help clean it up Thats Awesome.

Travis and the Zombies Rock at being responsible for other peoples shit. But it shouldn't just be the Zombies and the Pirates and the Reno 4x4 crowd.

I would do a clean up after an event like this on Monday morning before everyone leaves. And yes, monitoring during the event, talking to folks and making sure every camp knows they have to clean up their mess before they go will help.

Being the person that walks around and talks to folks is mostly fun, sometimes it's not. But if you have a good group like the Zombies to back you up, it makes short work of it.

Thanks again Travis and Crew.

Bebe

was wheeling saturday on the back side of the rocks and there were Four or Five rigs parked when they drove off there were five or six cans laying on the ground all around where they were parked for a while. They all had nevada plates. I dont know if the cans were there before those guys stopped there or if they came from them. But they still should have picked them up while they were there instead of the next person to come along to clean up after them, which i did. People are all not as aware as others on the condition of the trails or the need to keep them clean or face closures.
Id suggest next year that some club take some kind of trail boss/trail crew duty up there for the holiday weekends to police the area ourselves for people leaving trash around or anything that would give the sport and area a bad name. Moonrocks is a great place to wheel and alot of other nevada trails are also and would be a shame to see them be closed.

Anyone know what the rules would be for having a roll off dumpster brought there? I would be willing to pay for one next year. I think that would help a ton in getting people to pick up there shit and toss it in the dumpster. And it would be there to do a mini cleanup on monday next year. Just throwing it out there....

Good idea im sure a few of our clubs would be willing to get a few dumpsters brought out for the weekend. And I agree that if there were some staged out there that there would be alot more people leaving trash around. Not saying it would fix the problem though. There was alot more than just wheelers up there and im sure they contributed also. Maybe some kinds of signs on the road into the camp also would be a good idea for next year.

We were just talking about this locally also, I would chip in. Last year we even invited the media to our clean up to try and get the word out. TCARP we do appriciate all you have done for our sport and land use. I really think its more of a Responsible wheeler vs D-Bag thing not a Nevada VS Cali thing.

Here is the press from last years clean-up.

[/url]

Agreed. And just remember probibly a majority of the people out there wheeling are not members of sites like this so they do not get as much exposure to the problems we have all been faceing fighting to keep our land and trails open to the public. Its a battle thats going to be hard fight and wont end anytime soon.

This sucks it seem like our local group gets stuck cleaning it up every year !! The guys from over the hill never come back to help with the clean-Up !!

Contradiction much? :shaking:

Whatever, it's childish and BS to sit here and point fingers.

Travis and I were talking a few hours ago about this, I'll be there too next weekend. I just figured we would take care of it while at his party, then post up about it after.

The most important thing is to keep the planning as low key and informal as possible.

You don't want any one club being responsible, unless you want to have to coordinate with the BLM and have Job Hazard Analysis' done and EA's and all the other junk.

Trav, with your connections see if you can find a local company to donate the dumpster, we did that for one of our Greenhorn Clean ups.

The other option is the opposite - get a Friends of Moonrocks together, get a 501c3, and work with the BLM all the time and be a slave to the politics. The longer you can hold that off the better.

Key words to avoid attracting attention:

Event
Organize
Monitors
Patrols
Crews

Just do it - don't get fancy.:)

Contradiction much? :shaking:

Whatever, it's childish and BS to sit here and point fingers.

Ha Ha Your right, I'm the bad guy for being upset about it. I never wheel there on Big weekends but I do go out and clean it up. Maybe my first statement was a little harsh but it got your attention RIGHT!! I was trying to clarify my statement because I know its not everyone over the hill. Just really frustrated to have to do it EVER year. We have tons of nice clean hardcore trails over here to wheel. I guess I should just sit back and let them close it cause I have better spots here anyway. :shaking: This is the first time someone has offered to come back over and help! Thanx for that I'll buy you a cold one when you get here. :grinpimp:

Bebe I think a Friends of Moonrocks is a great idea.

Bebe I think a Friends of Moonrocks is a great idea.

Cool!!

Just remember it takes a very good, large group of core volunteers to pull it off. It's a long term commitment, political savvy is a must, and the future members have to be constantly cultivated.

Get it on you! :)

my hat's off to you sir. way to make the point clear. i think the "free"ness of the areas is also what makes them a haven for dipshits. i know people are gonna bitch, and i hate to say it, but i don't mind having to pay to get in at good places like moonrocks and the rubicon. so what if you have to pay $10-$15 a rig, it would cut down on the dumbasses that got nothing better to do than come out and Fawk up some prime areas. if it costs them money just to be there than that is usually deterrent enough. when it costs taxpayer money to keep coming in to police and clean things up then they have just cause to shut them down for "budgetary reasons". it would also pay to keep a ranger on site to keep an eye on the place, and keep someone employed.

in theory it sounds good but leaving any public lands to be managed for rec use sets us all up for the blm to just say it's too much trouble and we are shutting it down. Very few asshats get away with that kind of behavior on the con.... Because people police themselves and others... Us locals would like to think we could keep moonrocks a place without having all the government restrictions that have been set on the rubicon. We have logged quite a few hours with the blm on clean ups and have had media coverage to allow the general public aware that we all aren't the douche bags that treat it as a free for all and could care less if it was there tomorrow.

Exactly why I suggested to keep it low key. Once you get to an "official" status it becomes a major management nightmare and will suck the life out of you.

Friends of Greenhorn and Friends of the Rubicon are completely informal groups. They work because they attract caring volunteers through action.

You can't do it this way forever - but keep it low key as long as you possibly can.

You have to trust me on this.

Monday morning I told everyone on here I would be at the crack early am. I saw a few people already picking up trash when I got there. I got my hungover self a hand full of bags and started in picking up trash. This lead to a local guy coming out of his camper and asking what I was doing. He then pitched in and then lead to two other camps pitching in. That is all that really has to happen is we as a wheelin community just start cleaning up and explaning and others what is going on and trails shutting down and scare them with the truth and it makes them want to help. When I left v crack and the lines around it they were clean and getting even cleaner by people spreading the word and handing out trash bags to other parts of moonrocks. I have tried to do this every monday morning after the memorial weekend because this way you catch the =asshat d bag shave with a chesse grader eat a bowl of d#@ks= people that just go out there and do not care. Friends of moonrocks is a great idea. Just telling others and if you SEE it happening take their trash they put on the ground and do as my buddy did and sneak it back into their rig. Sorry for the rant of sort very touchy subject because I love all the trails that we get to wheel on.

Contradiction much? :shaking:

Whatever, it's childish and BS to sit here and point fingers.

Just blame it on the SOPO Guys!! :flipoff2:

JK Jimmy!!

Yup!:D Hey Justin.... Your spring is sprung....

I camped with friends in the Upper camping area (1/2 mile up the road from the crawling area).

We left Monday morning & for the most part all the people who left before us took their trash with them.
I did pick up about 12-18 bottles & cans that a group had left in their smoldering fire pit.

The thing that bugs me more is all the folks burning pallets.

We picked up at least 100 nails in our camping area.
I just spent $1k on tow rig tires & really didn't want to have to deal with a nail in my tire.

im a member of nor-calatv.com and while I personally havent been to moonrocks yet .... id be willing to come to the next cleanup you guys have and to post it on our board as well ... ive been told this place is epic .... and i dont know if i speak for the rest of california's atv population, but fuck red stickers and mandatory helmet laws.

Edit: and while we are on the subject if anyone reading this thread is also into atvs and theres a northern nevada club id love to know about it seeing as i like to cover distances and would love to spend an entire weekend riding and camping right off the quad

Yup!:D Hey Justin.... Your spring is sprung....

damn you guys :flipoff2:

A friend emailed these to me today...

so when is the cleanup

so when is the cleanup

This sunday I believe....

10-4

My buddy and I arrived Sat night around 11pm. Never been there before and it was crazy that night. Woke up that morning to a sad sight at the "v-crack." We hiked to the top of the rock formation and picked up as much as we could into two safeway bags. Was pretty sad to see so many bottles :( . Pistachio guy, c'mon, I understand that they are going to eventually degrade into the soil but the million pistachio shells at vcrack made it look like shit.

And mochamike that wheelstand was definitely vertical in person

Went out and did a little clean up today...BIG THanks to XJMOSER and his kid who put in work before I got there making the place pretty presentable.


Its too bad the Toyota Carnage gods struck both of us early....him with a busted front end(either axle shaft or R&P....) and me in the Lo-Budget pimpin buggy with a Broken rear ring and pinion that eventually led to the rear driveline popping out......:(..... Pimpin on boost is hard on parts!!!!:grinpimp:
