The burnt out cars seem all to frequent out there. We'll need to go VIN number hunting to see if there are some recognizable ones and then call them in to the sheriff. They like to handle the cars because they consider them crime scenes.
Foretunately, they seem to be quick with the removal as they were with the FJ.

Check out the video named Cleaning up the desert! For Feb 8th.

We got a little press a couple of times live this morning. Should be great for the event!

Awesome dude. Glad some of the press got involved.

Just wanted to re-post Tim's comment about the meeting time and place. I'll be at the Conoco by 8:00.

FYI, some of the guys from Club Frontier are participating in the cleanup as well.

Sorry guys... Sheila might make this meetup but I can't... SOAZ has asked me to be at the cleanup site at 8:00AM, Sheila may or may not be with me at that time (depends on if she sleeps in or not).

I'll see meet everyone at the cleanup site.

Madman,
No worries! There won't really be any set-up.
I'll still use you if you dont mind, as a team leader if not enough come at 8:00am. I just need a guy that can lead other folks up the road to a certain clean up spot (they'll be marked by number) and hand out bags, water etc. Just call on the radio if there is a problem etc.
Go ahead with your guys at the meet up location.

ok i need t pick up the trailer at countryclub and mckellips i should be getting it around 8ish.where is the meet spot the forpeaks dirt road off the b-line or buy the lake where they launch the boats ?

i'll be there at 8am..

Bump... You still following this plan Tim?

Hope so, I'll be there!

215 people showed up what a turn out.
What a blast and so many 4wheelers thanks to all that helped from AZXC and other clubs.
Happy Trails
Waldo/Onix

wheeling after was alot of fun too.. cept after i thought there was a problem with my truck its was stuck in second gear.. when i stopped at the gas station to get a 9v batt it was fix.. idk.

A special thanks to Tim Huber (SOAZ) for organizing this event. It was amazing to see so many people get together to do such a great job cleaning up the trails. It was great to have the guys from Club Frontier join the AZXC to have a strong Nissan presence. We were able to quickly cleanup Site 1 and help with other sites on our way back to base camp.

Here are a few pictures from the event. As always, I wish I took more photos...

This pile grew as the day wore on. There was a full rolloff dumpster that was also hauled out.

Wish I had been able to make it, but had to work today. looks like a fantastic turnout.

sucks that I live in Tucson

Excellent turnout, awesome job SOAZ (Tim)!

Thanks guys!!

What a great day!!! I'll have tons of pics up soon. We had 220 folks sign in and many more that didn't.
Tons of trash were removed and great people were met.
THANK YOU!!

I'm asking that anyone who wants to share pictures posts the LINK as a comment on www.fourpeakspickup.blogspot.com so they are all located in one place! Thank you!

It was a lot of fun. I did make it out there. I met onix real quickly (I was the idiot that didn't get gas on my way out). Wish I could have gone out to the site that ya'll were at, but I didn't want to risk running out of gas. I ended up helping out at site 6 and was the one that found the handgun. Anyway, we had to take off at about 12pm. Next time I'll plan better.

no sweat, i think i can speak for everyone when i say that were all just happy that you could come out and help..
it was alot of fun, and it always feels good doing a good deed. looking forward to doing something like this again real soon too.

question though.. the truck that was on the flyer, was it pulled out?

That was a good day, Tater. No seriously THANK YOU to everyone who was able to show up, help out and represent AZXC.

Big thanks to Onix and AZ-Ted for rolling out there with trailers and missing the quick run to the Coves afterward.

I hope that we can be a part of that event next year or if SOAZ puts together another one before that. It was really cool to see so many wheelers of every make & model out there working for one cause.

Thanks, Tim...you really had this set-up well and the results definately reflect that.

Thats John from Hunter Offroad. He built that and then joined as a posse member. He builds some sick stuff.

Thanks guys! I'd be honored to do it again. By they way, you guys have the cleanest, most built xterras I've ever seen. I gotta check one out sometime up close!
Here are some more pics.

First off its great to see the sponsors getting some press and print. They deserve every bit of it.
Secondly, I've signed up to be a member of the Blue Ribbon Coalition. You get the magazine they send out, the latest with the cleanup in it, and it makes you feel great.
BRC and Tread Lightly are just great and I want to support them. Enough talking.
The link is below to the digital version of the BRC magazine about the clean-up. Enjoy!!
