Trail Report: Cleaning up Calico!

[Mitch]

Un-Officailly 14 rigs with 22 caring offroaders met at Mule Canyon to clean up trash left by others on Friday. We filled trash bags as we headed east in Mule Canyon, then north to Kramers Arch, Bismarck Mine and various areas back to the camp. I left after lunch at Kramers Arch and took Phillips Drive back to Mule Canyon as the others continued alond the route. It is a good feeling to give back to the other users and to show the BLM that there are people that care and are will ing to help keep our PUBLIC LANDS open for the public. Thank you to all that had Friday off and could help. Someone did try to throw a wench in our plans....but thats another story! A great effort by concerned offroaders.

Hey Erik!

Missed you! Hopefully we can wheel soon! The guys were great! Kurt really got me jammed up on Gatekeeper! In all seriousness, I was able to drive up it once Kurt and Chuck got me lined up correctly.

I'm going put Stu on a bad line next time I see him!

[dr.dirty]

provelogear, thanks for taking some trash with you .....



also your gatekeeper run was very impressive and be sure to keep me updated on the sway bar i am really interested

that gate keeper can hand you your ass in seconds.
i have spent more money on the few rides up the gate keeper on broken crap than on the few years of broken crap in JV.

i am looking forward to getting out with you soon as well, Gerald. i'll be out of town for our anniversary in Hawaii, so i had to save my pennies and apply my time right now to wrap up loose ends with work before leaving town.

when i get back, we'll have to go out and play.

to keep some "on topic" conversation in this thread, you guys rock in taking this job on out of the kindness of your hearts, and to support the wheeling community.
nice job!

for those sierra clubbers to lump this group into a detrimental group of wheelers is shameful. i hope they are able to discern the differences before long and own up to their mistake.
