2012 Fourpeaks cleanup

[crgeorge]

Hi all,

It's the time of year that I like to announce this years Fourpeaks/Sugarloaf cleanup. This years cleanup will be held on Saturday November the 3rd. I know it's a while away but at least hopefully it will make everyone's calender. Last year we had a great turn out despite the weather with nearly 100 volunteers. We managed to fill 2 60 yard roll off dumpsters graciously supplied by Allied Waste. To find the cleanup site, travel North on highway 87 to the Fourpeaks turn off, East from highway 87 between mile markers 203 and 204 on forest service road 143. The cleanup will be staged approx 1/2 mile from highway 87 in the Fourpeaks staging area. This is our 3rd annual cleanup and we hope to have a fantastic turn out. There will be a raffle as in previous years. You can see a list of sponsors as they become named on our webpage, www.copperstate4wheelers.com

I will try hard to keep up with all the online forums and post updates as they become available. You can also follow updates on our Facebook as well. For questions you can contact me at chad@copperstate4wheelers.com.

Thank you all in advance for helping to make this year's cleanup a huge success.

Chad, Copperstate 4 wheelers.

Hello everyone, the Fourpeaks cleanup is quickly approaching and still on schedule rain or shine. I will be onsite Friday night and spending Saturday night out there as well. We may even take a trail ride after the cleanup. Anyways, as a reminder, To find the cleanup site, travel North on highway 87 to the Fourpeaks turn off, East from highway 87 between mile markers 203 and 204 on forest service road 143. Our staging area is approximately 1/2 mile from the highway in the Fourpeaks staging area. Meeting time is 8am. We will work until approximately 2pm, lunch is at 1230 (not provided, sorry guys) and raffle to follow at 130pm. When volunteers register, they will get 1 raffle ticket, including the children. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to buy raffle tickets for a Smitty Bilt 8000 pound winch we will be raffling off. Tickets are $5 each, or 5 for $20. We will have a brief safety meeting before heading out. Please remember to bring closed toe shoes, rakes, shovels, gloves, water, sunscreen, hats, lunch, and whatever else you might find to be helpful. We would also gladly accept any donations for trash bags. Contractor bags in the 50 count are $23 at Home Depot. Small utility trailers are also welcomed as we will use them to bring trash back to the staging area. I want to acknowledge our sponsors: Desert Rat offroad and truck centers, Hero Offroad, Rigid Industries, Asfir 4x4, Expeditioneers, and Mel's Napa.

Are there any particular freqs to monitor for this, or would we all just be hitting Mt. Ord? I don't have a mobile in the Scout yet, but I was planning on taking a couple HTs to play with out there, though I don't know if either will be able to key up Ord.

Not sure why he emailed this to me, but seems to be a response to your frequency question.

Hello,

I typically use the ord machine and 146.520.

Wish I could make. I have had a few recent health issues that have put me in the hospital.

This is really a great event. I hope everybody that can trya their best to be there.

The weather is nice and its really nice to be able to show everybody that the 4x4 community really cares. It is also a great chance to win some cool things

Just got home from the cleanup (we went back out for some trail runs after the cleanup)....another amazing event Filled to overflowing two of the big roll off dumpsters. It's sad that we have to, but I'd gladly be back again for the next one!

Clean up was rewarding and worth doing. Such a shame that some people who use the ranges at Four Peaks are unconcerned about the junk they leave behind.

Thank you to everyone that was out there for the clean up. They are always a roller coaster of emotions. 1. Sad to see so much litter. 2. Rewarding to see such an immediate impact of the areas cleaned up.
