Unless it rains the patriot would be fine.
PM me about camping out there. I will be the night before for sure. Maybe a bunch of us will want to camp out there the night after.

 

[CodyRx7]

I should be able to make it then, would bringing my trailer help with collection/removal?

Hey Tim, what is the trail like? The GF and I may come up for the clean up, then find somewhere to camp......not sure if we will bring the Wrangler or Patriot though (hence the question about the trail...). Looks like the BMW stays home for this one....

The trail to the parking lot is basically 'paved' dirt. I've personally driven a BMW up it.

 

[FJ40LVR]

I'm in, with help...also possibly interested in camping.

 

[BMAN]

I would love to camp but I've got to be in Maricopa Sunday morning.

The BMW is staying home because the GF doesn't have any riding gear, and the 650 is a bit under powered for 2 up + camping gear, given the amount of asphalt between Tucson and Phoenix. The GF does have a Patriot that needs a proper break in though.....

Yes. With so many SUV's we could definately use it to move bags to the main area. Don't feel obligated to bring it, but if you can great!

Good stuff! I'm scouting it out this weekend. I'll let you know what I find.

That would be one really cold ride too!

 

[FJ40LVR]

Tim, what time are you gonna do your scouting? I might be interested in tagging along. I am in kansas untill tommorrow, let me know when you are heading out...

 

[SOAZtim]

I'm doing a quick scout tomorrow. Shoot me a pm. I'll keep you in the loop for the next time I head out there. I know I will at least one more time before the clean-up.

 

[SOAZtim]

I can't thank Elvota enough for this map!

 

[SOAZtim]

I headed up there with BMAN to do a little scouting for the clean up. Here are some pics!

 

[inkpot]

Howdy! Looks like we will need some hard tooth rakes and shovels. I wish I had my tailer finished. John

 

[FJ40LVR]

And current tetnus shots....

Yes sir we do. Bring em if you got em!

And current tetnus shots....

Not a bad idea either!

That's what Table Mesa Rd looked like when GoodGuns did their cleanup. (And prolly looks like again, since it likely needs constant cleanup.)

 

[Tools R Us]

Did you guys also look at FR11, last year it was a mess for about the first mile from FR143.

 

[SOAZtim]

Did you guys also look at FR11, last year it was a mess for about the first mile from FR143.

Yes, depending on the turn out I may decide to send some folks over there too. It is a mess there too and its near the highway.

I need a couple clean up area team leaders.
Requirements:
GPS or knowledge of lower four peaks.
2 meter radio or a CB.

Can you email me at timothy_huber@hotmail.com if you up for it.
Thanks,
Tim

Count me in with the HJ... and the trailer I had at the Fossil Creek cleanup. I'll plan on bringing it, unless I hear different...

And, if everything works out (...though I don't suppose I'll need it), this will likely be the maiden voyage for a new ARB rear-locker install, driven by a new 24-volt compressor.

(Somebody, who has a strong yank-strap, highly recommended at least one locker after pulling my HJ's tail over a big step in Box Canyon last fall. Thanks again, BMan It should be in sometime soon. )

 

[BMAN]

Good to hear Tom. That one locker would have made the difference that day. Your trailer will be great to have as we'll need to make some trips back and forth I'm sure. The FS is working on some rolloffs now. So we'll need to get crap from the furthest back location out to the rolloffs at least a couple times during the day.

 

[SOAZtim]

Okay, You can tell that I wrote this info below for all of the clubs. You guys are the kings. Thank you guys for all of your support. Very impressive! Besides the weirdo president (impeachment?) you guys are top notch! haha!

A couple of updates!

Good Gun Foundation has donated some money to the cause as a giveaway! As well as some members coming to help. I'm excited to see responsible shooters step up.

Oakley has given some sun glasses to give away. (thanks CSC!)

The Tacoma Territory, Xterra Owners Club , Copper State Cruisers, and Virtual Jeep Club have stepped up to make it an official run of theirs!

The Copper State Cruisers have stepped up with a giant grill that can cook 80 burgers at a time! YIKES thats a lot of cow. mmmm!

Some folks are bringing a rake if they can. Its not a neccessity, but it will help with the shells and glass being picked up!

The Forest Service is going to bring a couple of Roll Off Dumpsters too!

REI is donating some Clif bars for the volunteers. REI Clearance: Up to 50% Off on Outdoor Clothing and Accessories for Skiing, Snowboarding, Camping and More
