I might run out for it. I participated in the Stoddard valley clean up earlier this year, was a good turn out.
Is this a day event or a weekend event?

I might be able to make it out as well, would be great to pick up after those who try so hard to make us all look bad.

More questions than answers.
Unless a family thing comes up, Ill go.
I'm going to try to make this one as well. I've never wheeled out there, but the old ghost town is one of my favorites. Thanks for the advanced notice, Mark, it helps me get these things on the calendar. Is the plan to camp overnight?
I'll be down for this! Adding to the calendar. If not in trial, I'll be there, too soon to tell about trials in Feb.

Sweet response...It would be much appreciated if So Cal 80's could make this one. Should be some fun trailing while making right with BLM cleaning this area up. From what I hear, if it rains before or during our event, it get's better.
Meeting with BLM on Tuesday to get a better understanding of what they need and to take a peek at the areas that need attention. Any proceeds from the raffle will go to the Children's Discovery Center.
More to follow next week...

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?

I didn't know that anyone was thinking of closing down Calico.. that sucks. That makes me want to make it out there even more now.

Sounds like a good plan, I will do my best to make it at least one day.
