Thought I would let you guys know about this event. We need all the help we can get.
Description:
Chokecherry canyon is a very unique place in that buggies, very modified, slightly modified, and stock trucks can run the same trail and everyone will have fun; optional lines is what makes chokecherry amazing. Don’t want to do an obstacle? Go around. Can’t make an obstacle? Try another 30 feet over. This area really is a huge playground for any type of vehicle.
The cleanup is going to be Saturday, but if people wanted to come out early, to get the most out of the wheeling trip, by all means come out early and we can show you around. Last year’s cleanup lasted about 4-5 hours, which left a lot of time to go wheeling afterwards. Sunday you can go wheeling as well if you feel so inclined.
Meeting time will be 8:00am-noonish Saturday Morning (June 14th, 2008) at the staging area (directions below). We will be splitting up in groups to hit different areas that need to be cleaned up. After the cleanup, we will all gather around and decide what trails to run and what trails everyone wants to do.
Staging will be located at the entrance to chokecherry canyon, which is at the intersection of pinion hills and glade rd. (a large dumpster will be there).

Direction to Camp:
From Pinion Hills Rd.
Turn off on CR1980 aka Glade Rd (chokecherry canyon)
There has never been a sign or anything to mark it whatsoever. But there are land marks.
* It's a canyon bottom at the base of a pretty big hill.
* it's on the right (north) and paved
* It immediately curves to right and becomes gravel/dirt
* there are street lights if it's dark.
* there is large wash on the right (east)
Stay on the main road. At ~+2miles you'll pass the "Glade run rec area/BLM" sign
You will then cross over the wash, then cross back after a ways.
2 TOTAL WASH CROSSINGS
After the 2nd crossing you'll come to a fairly large, well used "T" intersection on the left.
PASS IT!
Take the next trail that peels off to the left. It's just a few yards past the intersection.
You'll pop out in brown spring. Which is kind of like a parking lot surrounded by a big slick rock bowl. That's were we'll be camped.
Total distance is ~3 miles from pinon hills
