Hi guys, I hope you don't mind me posting this as a noob. I'm putting together a little clean up for the four peaks area. Its become pretty trashed. I wanted to make sure the Xterra crowd is there. If anyone can make it that would be great! Thank you, Tim Huber Where: Beeline Highway and Four Peaks Rd. (AKA NF-143) Directions from Phoenix: Take the 101 to Shea and turn East (toward Fountain Hills). Take this to the Beeline (A.K.A. HW-87). Turn North (toward Payson) on the Beeline (HW87). Take this 15 miles. The turn is just before mile marker 204. Turn Right on Four Peaks Rd (NF-143) (east). Take the dirt road less than a mile to the restrooms and parking area. We’ll have someone here all day to help direct you to the areas being cleaned! When: February 9th. 9am-3pm. (Come by to fill 1 bag or 20 whatever you have time for. Feel free to show up anytime between 9am-3pm and leave when you need to.) What to bring: A desire to leave it a little better than you found it. Trash bags will be provided! Recommended Items: Gloves, long pants, sun block, a hat, water, snacks. For more info please contact: Tim Huber at Timothy_Huber@hotmail.com Or http://fourpeakspickup.blogspot.com Thanks to: Racer Offroad ( www.raceroffroad.com) for $150 worth of gift certificates that will be given away!!

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Conundrum: [QB]Awesome, Thank you so much, now if we could just keep people from turning it into this, without limiting access to the area for the rest of us. QUOTE] Seriously! I'm trying to get a group of people out there from every group that uses the mountain. It seems like people are less likely to litter if the area is clean. Once it gets trashed folks feel like its okay. (I went out scouting for the clean-up last weekend and we saw a father and two little kids shooting. Sweet, but they had brought out their old dog house to shoot and leave there...) I'm hoping to see a large 4x4 showing, some mountain bikers, dirt bikers, and shooters as well.

I will be there. If any other AZXC members can make it, post up. Let's do our part to help keep these places open and bring good favor upon OHV users.

Good to see we are gonna represent AZXC well at this clean-up. I would definately bring a trailer if you have one, that could haul a lot of trash. I took a vote and this is going to be the OFFICIAL XCURSION for FEB. Especially since the Feb Xcursion was planned as being the same area we are cleaning! ***This is 2WD friendly!!!! Adam, please make the changes to the website when you can, thanks a million! Attending: T-Ray Conundrum Onix AZ-Ted

Adam, please make the changes to the website when you can, thanks a million!You guys rock!! Thank you all so much! The trailer would be great! I'll have a few "roaming" crews so the trailer would work well for that and to haul filled bags back to the main meeting point. If you have a rake or shovel it might help to have. There is a lot of big trash, but it would be nice for all of the shells and glass. Thank you XOC!

A couple of updates! www.goodgun.org 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. 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! Tim

Virtual Jeepers are comin too.
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.
