Trail Crew:
I have spoken with Rose Foster, Volunteer Coordinator and Lynnette Elser, Recreation Chief from the Barstow BLM Filed Office in regards to Trail Crew adopting Doran and Odessa Canyons.
Their office is very supportive and welcoming our efforts. They expressed their concerns about the increased OHV use and the continuing problems with trash, appliances, stolen vehicles, and even a body that was discarded in the desert. This is a great way to give back to the sport and enjoy some decent wheelin'.
Although I couldn't give them a date as to when we would like to coordinate a clean up, I requested that BLM supply us with trash bags, the possiblity of a bin, or a designated area to dump the collected trash. The County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors office has agreed to furnish us with dumpcards, if necessary.
This is definetly an area that we want to keep the gates open. Anyone interested in participating a clean up/scouting current conditions in May, before the cooler temperature changes a hundred plus degrees? And then returning for an organized clean up in October? Any thoughts or ideas?
