Someone should call up all the local news stations / news papers. Get some good publicity for the 4Wheel community - rather than all the negative crap that normally floats around.
You've got connections, maybe you can get the GoDaddy girl out there bending over, picking up, who cares what she picked up.

I expect some folks from every manufacturer out there. Dirt bike, mountain bike, and hikers too. I've contacted every large media source in Phoenix and some small ones too. Not much of a response yet. If anyone has connections please use them. Please tell them to contact me and I'll get them information, pictures etc! Thanks guys!

Submit a press release of your own - There are online sites on which you can do that. The press may then pick up on it and come out to take some photos.

SOAZ - Replied to your PM with some links to Free Press Release Submission sites and a Press Release example. I send them all the time now for my home business and pick up a ton of hits on my site from it. So if nothing else - it will spread the word.

Hello again Rinky! Good to see that you are all over the place like me. This post #25 of the night.
I went ahead and signed up for each one of the press release sites. That is all new to me so I appreciate the info!
I hope you guys don't mind me posting the logo's. I want to give credit and thanks to the companies helping out.
I wanted to thank Border Construction Specialties for stepping up big with the giant grill. Brandon, the president of Copper State Cruisers has gotten burgers and the use of this trailer sized grill donated for the clean-up! Thank YOU!

If you CAN make it could you please go to the official clean-up website and click the RSVP buttons on the right side of the page below. It will really help me!
Count me in... Depending on scheduling I'll try to get Sheila out with the Fronty too.
I have a CB, FRS, and GPS (ok, a full blown laptop bolted to the car), and have been out there a few times recently if you're still looking for help there, hit me up.
I'm also setup with a winch, so I should be able to drag some old cars out too.
No need for prizes IMO though... Just keep the trail open.
Anyone have access to a small trailer... I'll tow it if you wont, it sure would have helped at the last clean up I was at with VJ?

They have a question about the pickup area: Are we going all the way to Edwards Park / Roosevelt? OR, are we just doing the outlying ATV areas?
Good question. We are concentrating on some really bad areas within about 10 miles of the Four Peaks parking lot. I have backup areas if we have that big of a turnout, but even they are within the 8 miles. Just down different roads. We should have plenty to do.

I know a lot of us have an SUV, Jeep or other "non" trucks. Although piling bags of trash in the back can work, many don't want to take the risk of hurting the interior of their vehicle or just don't have the room! If you have a hitch mounted bike rack you may have the perfect alternative. I simply looped the bag back on itself to make sure it gets a good grip and doesn't go anywhere. Take a look:
Keep in mind that the bags will sway around back there and I don't recommend any highspeed or highway driving with this set up. It may just make the difference in carrying enough trash to make a difference though.

I'll winch the crap up the hills ... That will put that winch to a good use ... I'd like to get the cars out for sure though. A couple weeks ago there was a new Jeep Comander sitting out there burned to the frame.
