this should answer any questions
Dear Calico Clean Up Participant:



First off, we would like to thank all of you for volunteering to help clean up the four wheeling and shooting areas in and around the Calico Ghost Town. This joint effort is a great opportunity to work hand in hand with the Bureau of Land Management Barstow Field Office and various 4WD clubs and independent owners from three states to help restore the very area that we all want to keep open for recreation use.



The response from volunteers and the off road community has exceeded our expectations. We are expecting approximately 700 volunteers on Saturday, February 17, 2007 and the Calico Clean Up 2007 committee would like to take this time to inform you, as a participant, what to expect.



*PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION*



Directions:

If you plan on camping in Mule or Odessa Canyons, feel free to set up camp, then come down to staging to sign up. Due to the large number of people attending this event there may not be room for motor homes and larger trailers in the canyons so we have been allowed to occupy a large open spot for staging in the dry lake bed with more that enough room for all participants to camp.



STAGING AREA BEEN UPDATED AND CHANGED TO THE DRY LAKE BED! The staging area entrance will be on the opposite side of the road from the Mule Canyon entrance. Follow the access trail; there will be a sign posted for Calico Clean Up. The road is smooth and very accessible for recreational vehicles and trucks with trailers and the access trail leads smack dab into our staging area. There is more than enough room for all participants to camp in and around staging comfortably.



There is absolutely no recreating allowed in the dry lake bed during this event. No motorcycling, four wheeling, pre-running, or other recreating allowed. The outlining areas of the dry lake area are private property; as well as a large piece of the land in the lake bed area. Please do not jeopardize future organized events because of careless actions.



Due to the civil war re-enactment and excessive traffic delays on Calico Ghost Town off ramp, use the Yermo exit from I-15 only. Head north over the freeway and watch for Mule Canyon and turn LEFT onto the dry lake bed.







NOTE: If you plan on camping on the dry lake bed and having a camp fire you MUST bring a fire ring or wash tub. We cannot have open fires on the lake bed.

Early registration will be open Friday and again Saturday morning at the Calico Clean Up trailer. Every participant MUST sign the event waiver.
