Last year we had almost 300 people show up and clean 7 tons of trash (plus a burnt out truck).

This years event is on February 7th. From 9am to 3pm.

See ya out there!

Thanks to our friends at Sierra Expeditions. Folks who want to contribute a couple bucks to the cost of the cleanup can do so at this link.

Any money left over will be donated to www.disabledexplorers.com and www.karmaracer.org

I went up to the Four Peaks and Sycamore area today. (the cleanup will be in both areas)
There is plenty of trash, especially on the sycamore side.

Sadly, the forest service has fenced off almost every area that we cleaned last year. Sad, because closing off areas seems to be the only thing they can do to keep areas clean. Also, this just forces the shooters to other areas to trash. It doesn't prevent it. Nice, because the areas stay clean...

Four Peaks was looking good!

We will try to be there if work does not come up. Should we bring the crawler or the DD truck for trash. Do you all go on any runs the to lake or upper Sycamore.
Thanks

SOAZtim · 01-02-2009, 07:18 PM

Thanks Tom,
Whatever works for you. The truck may come in handy though. I just did a fun run from the lake up and over 4 peaks. Pretty nice.
Actually, after the cleanup a few of us were talking about running up and over 4 peaks and then back some trail then heading down to the rocknroll mcdonalds car show in a bunch of dirty trucks. Could be fun!

Lunch is being taken care of by the Copper State Cruisers!! We'll be grilling up some dogs.
Thanks,

I just picked up a load of water and over a thousand bags from Arizona Clean and Beautiful.

I want folks to have this link. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE LITTERING OR DUMPING KEEP THIS LINK OR TELEPHONE NUMBER HANDY.

http://www.arizonacleanandbeautiful....Form_page.html

The Litter Hotline (1-877-3LITTER)

Once you fill this out the perpetrator will get a letter like this:

Its "just" a letter, but many of these people would not want to get caught and this lets them know that they are being watched. It may not change their mind, but I REALLY do think that it will put enough fear into the perpetrators to think twice before doing it again for fear that they are being watched.

Not bad along the road, comparitively speaking to last year. This year there is actually a lot MORE trash total though because Sycamore is beat. Completely trashed.
Thanks for the support guys. See ya out there.

SOAZtim · 02-02-2009, 04:06 PM

We're getting close to the cleanup. See you next Saturday!
Things to bring:

-GLOVES
-A RAKE (for all of the small stuff, shells, glass etc)
-SUNSCREEN
-A HAT
-WATER

SOAZtim · 02-03-2009, 09:44 PM

RAIN IS POSSIBLE. THE CLEANUP IS ON RAIN OR SHINE. Please be prepared.
Thank you,

Eric D · 02-05-2009, 08:57 AM

actually I was impressed with the amount of youngsters that showed up...the game and sheriff's were out in force...the sad news is that just after we cleaned one area up the shooters returned! I don't mind them as long as they leave the place like the found it....
