12/12 Update
I met with Discovery Trails and BLM today to identify and determine the approved staging area, roll off dumpster location, specific trails and the areas that require our volunteer time and energy.
The attached map below identifies two of the three areas that need attention, including Doran, Odessa, and Mule Canyon. The third area which is not shown is Silver Bow Mine Road and it's west of Bismarck Canyon. Only the letters on the map mentioned below identify areas of concern for this clean up and the areas that have a completed enviromental impact report for our effort. This has been completed.
Staging Area
(A) on the west side of the trail
Roll off Dumpster
(A) Across from staging area at base of Mule Canyon
Area #1 Mule Canyon
(A-F) and (I-M)
Area #2 Odessa and Bismarck Canyon
(Q-U)
Area #3 Silver Bow Mine Road
Discovery Trails has offered to provide trash bags and operate their 14' dump truck to remove any filled trash bags or items recovered at the side of the accessible trails back to the roll off dumpster at staging. Areas requiring 4wd access, we will need to transport the bags and items to an accessible area for him to remove the trash. It's their belief that we will only need one roll off dumpster.
Discovery Trails will also arrange to have (2) uniformed San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies and a BLM ranger patrol our areas on quads and in a marked 4wd patrol vehicle in the shooting areas to ensure our safety. They are also E.M.T.'s and will be available in case we needs a band-aid.
This clean up effort so far has had great response from several land cruiser, TTORA, jeep, and SBNF adopt-a-trail members alike. I believe that the amount of participation mentioned will make a difference cleaning up an area that has been considered for closure because of the on-going abuse.
A raffle was considered to offset some of the costs and to give back to Discovery Trails. Is there any interest?

Hey Rob, Hope you guys can make it out with us. Instead of climbing hills for fire season you outta be sand bagging with hand crews by Febuary...or hanging with us in Calico? Super fun area to wheel as there's something for everyone.
I haven't done any advertising as of yet. I'm pretty sure with the amount of feedback from here and the other forums with adopt-a-trail, we should have a decent turnout.
The raffle has now been offically taken over by Ron Q. (FJ Cruiser Lead Team Driver). I doubt he'll let anyone down with his contacts and effort. Props to him!

Being a high desert resident for 28 years, I get to see the garbage first hand. I've even caught asshats in the act of dumping. For the most part, the dumpers are speed freak scum that think the middle of the desert is more convenient than the dump. They'll actually load up their truck overflowing with mounds of trash, old car parts, empty ephedrine bottles, and diapers and just find a nice bush to leave it by.
For anyone who has not participated in an organized cleanup run, it is actually a lot of fun. A good format to follow is rewarding participants with raffle tickets for each bag of trash or item hauled in. This kind of turns it into a race of sorts since the raffle prizes are unknown at the time.
Everytime I go out wheeling I come back with more trash than I brought and will be in Calico to do the same. It's nice the rollaways were donated, the last Stoddard cleanup had to pay for the dumpsters.
