These are pics from comp hill at glamis after winds moved all of the sand off years of trash. Both comp and olds looked like this, it was if we were standing on a land fill. Trash was all thru the dunes and along the road.

WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WE COULD LOOSE THIS PRIVLIDGE!

It's going to take a long time to "clean up" all the crap people have left over the decades. It saddens me now to see all this crap, but when I was in my 20's it was cool to go to comp at night and watch (and or contribute to) the mayhem. At the time I, and many others never thought of the consequences. Glamis was a far off place that only gear heads went. We'd tent camp, or just a sleeping back in the back of the truck was awesome. for me back then, dinner was a 12 pack of CL's and a couple hotdogs. Point being: It's going to be tough to change the youth culture out there.

So, what if a tiny % of the funds collected for the permits go to a 'beach cleaner'... I know it's been mentioned before. something like this.



The times I've been to Europe they motor this things around all over the place. After a weekend the beaches look like what Comp does now. I've even seen them mounted to the front of small boats to clean the harbors there too.

Let's clean it up, I do my part every time I'm out. My goal is at lest 2 trash bag of stuff.

I have to say, in my experience over the last 10 years, Glamis is SUPER clean from what it once was. I remember so many burnt out cars, piles of garbage, cans blowing around. There are more and more folks that ARE stepping up!

wow, looks like the wind uncovered decades old stuff for the most part.
Tin cans, glass that is worn smooth, and old pallet nails.
Now is a good time to clean it up.

The beach cleaner has been mentioned before and shot down by the enviro people because it also removes native/natural components from the sand. This is a good situation to ask for forgiveness instead of permission. Have all the removed garbage in one dumpster and if the enviro people want to put some stuff back, then go for it.
