We'll have an official report later this week, when we get the numbers back from the BLM.
We hauled 8 cars and filled 3 roll offs. Estimates are around 75 people showed up for the cleanup, the VAST majority were wheelers.

Thanks to everyone.

The fun part was removing the cars from the trailer. The first one came off with great difficulty using a Toyota, the rest came off with my Superduty. Broke a 30k strap and the next one started separating.

Unfortunately no pics.

However, if there is any pic that should be put up soon is the one with the banner and the pirate salute.

Chris · 02-04-2008, 05:56 PM

Andy where are the rest f your pics?

B-Spec · 02-04-2008, 06:20 PM

Great job guys!

Spotter's Wife · 02-04-2008, 08:08 PM

Glad Johnson Motorsports could be there to help out! We brought the whole family, including a goat (well, to Bender's shop, anyway)

I thought we all made amazing progress!

I am so happy with how it went off guys. It was a total pleasure. We really should be doing stuff like this more often.

That was way cool! Even if it showed me standing around holding a bucket. I was on a union break.

My thanks goes out to all who made it out for the clean-up.

look me up if you want to make a hike up to the city one of these days. We'll consider it a pre-run for when that damn gate comes down.

rotozuk · 02-06-2008, 01:34 PM

While working with some other photos I ran across some pics I took from before either of the cleanups. Helps get an idea of how much work has been accomplished.

I'm thinking Spring Break might be a good time. I'll PM Kris later and he can decide from there.
