Some information on how the clean up will operate

Loon lake will be the main sign up area. Most of the groups will start from Loon lake. A small group will work from the Tahoe side (Buck Island), and the rest will work from Spider lake.

Loon lake: Jeff Fretwell and Ron Kirby will be assigning jobs Saturday morning from 8am-9ish. We will have about 10 groups leaving Loon from 8am-10am Saturday. There will be 4 bypass patrol groups. 1st to leave will be the Ellis to Walker Hill group led by Billy Bob and Johny Rotten, 2nd group will be the back side of Loon (Meadow area) led by Bill (WB), and the third group will be the gatekeeper area. This group will be the last to leave the spillway to keep the trail clear and will be led by Sean (Gearman).

The 4th Bypass patrol group will leave from Spider Lake Saturday morning and work from Spider to Walker. Crew leaders will be Bob Roggy and Vince Howdyshell.

There will be several other groups heading out of Loon which will be the slab clean up group led by Andy Plain (Krustkruiser). This group will most likely be split into two and work both sides of the slabs up to the back side of the lake.

Other groups will work from the back side of Loon (meadow area) to Ellis cleaning campsites and such. Each group will have anywhere from 15-30 people.

Spider Lake: Mike Overmeyer and Kevin Carey will be assigning jobs from there Saturday morning.

There will be 2 or 3 turd patrol groups led by Disco, Nasvik, and Kevin. Outhouse repair crews and plenty of trash and campsite crews.

Mike Vincent will lead the Canoe patrol and will need several volunteers for that task.

Buck Island: Look for Troy Muse at the dam Saturday morning to sign up with his group. This group will clean the campsites around Buck Island and work their way to Spider lake.

Organization: This year we’ve made some efforts to help things run a little smoother than in previous years. For starters we will be handing out color coded wrist bands to all volunteers which will match an antenna flag flown by their crew leader. This should assist a great deal with groups starting from Loon.

It is very important that you sign up and get your wrist band if you want to be eligible for the raffle (5pm @ Sluice box). When you sign up you will get a wristband, raffle ticket, dash plaque, and some other goodies.

T-shirts and foamies will be sold at the spillway Friday and Saturday, they will also be sold at Spider Lake. T-shirts , and foamies I will also be selling last years clean up shirts as well as Carnage for the con shirts at the spillway for .

See you all at the clean up!
