I might be able to get trash bags donated! Maybe we could get some good press out of it! [Cool]

dezfan, anyone can go into the Ranger station at Glamis and tell them you are going to do a trash cleanup... they will glady give you a box of trash bags for free. And they are big, heavy duty trash bags.

Anyone really feel like setting an example.

Why not hold a clean-up at olds on saturday of T-day.

If 20-30 people grabbed bags and started collecting you'd be amazed how many others pitch in. I usually pull out a bag as our group is leaving and start walking around picking up any nearby trash - people from most neighboring "camps" usually join in right away and we leave the area around where we were cleaner than when we got there.

Just imagine the GD crew doing something like this on a big weekend to really set a good example for everyone out there.

pick a day...... after t-day, I think there is talk of a gathering on the 13-15th but thats a off-weekend..

The golf deal will not be until Jan..
I like the idea of holding a 'meeting' on a sat(11/30) like that at Olds.
Then have another one Sun (12/1). at the bottom of Comp around noon.
I will supply the truck to put all the full trash bags in and haul it to the dumpster so no one has to ride with them.

Well I will help at the next cleanup then, since I wont be going again till Dec ....

We'll be out there from Thanksgiving night through the 1st, so if the clean-up falls on any of those days, count us in!

Hey fasthijumper...
Does a guy have a plan?

I'm game!! Who's in charge? email me dates. I'll see if My B/F , Skip, and I can make it out there to participate!!

Jason

Nov 14 2002, 04:26 PM

I'm in. I have a clean up in camp every day. My kids get 3 pieces of trash then wash their hands before each meal. [Smile]

This ensures that nothing gets away from me and anything that blows up to our camp gets caught too.

The annual clean up is Jan 18th at the ranger station. I have made all of them so far. Maybe we could hook up at this event also. Meet at the pay station on the ranger side of the Gecko RD. That little culdesac area.

Saturday after Thanksgiving? Sounds perfect. I can't plug my blenders in down there but I'll bet I can get some hot dogs donated. Water too. Anyone know a beer distributor?

One year a couple people went to comp every Sunday and collected aluminum cans, turned them in and donated the $$$ to one of the OHV groups (a different one every time).

And yeah, I've heard that the BLM will give out trashbags for cleanups.

Hey ALL!
Why not help out at the mini-clean-up at Comp Pit on Saturday Nov 30- 9am to noon?

http://www.glamis-cleanup.org/

This is not an ASA clean-up, it's a dune clean-up.
Come on out an lend a hand.

Thanks

Well, looks like FHJ's idea caught on elsewhere [Big Grin]

I'm thinking a little competition wouldn't hurt [Smile]

Who could collect more? Could be even more fun.

And everyone would win.

Or Steve's cleaup crew could always join up with the folks from GD.com right? [Big Grin]

I think you got the cart a little before the horse there Vicki. Steve's been organizing mini-cleanups for over two years now and you should know that.

If anything FHJ picked up on Steve's idea.

Steve's clean-up has been posted on the official Glamis Cleanup site: http://www.glamis-cleanup.org/ for some time and he's been posting cleanup dates since before there even was an ASA.

Considering that his cleanup has been in the planning for much longer I think it would be more appropriate to suggest that GD gets involved in the already planned cleanup than suggest that the organizers of that suddenly pull up the plans because of a post made two weeks before the event.

Silly me, the first time I saw anything about a cleanup at comp for 11/30 other than here was when I returned from Glamis last night and read Steve's posts from yesterday (Sunday).

I know how hard Steve works to get people involved in the mini-cleanups and would never want to steal his thunder... I just didn't realize his was set up for the date that GD.com was already talking about (as I sit here without a new ASA calendar and it's not on last year's pages).

But no matter who came up with the idea first, I still think a GD.com cleanup would be great and I'll bet we can get a few more trucks out there with Chummin's to haul those bags out. I have an old line on some donated gloves too that I'm sure I could revive. Oh, and my offer of hot dogs and water is still on the table [Big Grin]

Sounds like a good idea no matter who thought of it first! Let's just have a good time and get as much of the trash hauled out as possible! My truck is available to haul trash out if needed! [Burnout]

If they close Comp, what will there be to clean -up??? [Confused]

SailAway

Nov 20 2002, 06:48 AM

I guess it would turn into a hot-dog (and carne asada?) eating, stand in the sand gathering [Cool]

Or we could pick another spot? Lots of sand out there that needs cleaning.

Vicki

Nov 20 2002, 06:58 AM

20 year old trash that was left behind by some olden drunken duner from yester-year!

I'll bring the 5 gallon bucketts with the bottom cut out and a screen put in. Also magnets are good for picking up nails.

Thanks

I feel the absolute BOMB idea would be to rig a small trailor and drape GD . com banners on it , and we I can haul it to the places were upgrading to throw all the bags-o-trash in . [Big Grin]

What a great idea! Now, are there existing banners? I'm sure something could be done with a roll of butcher paper...

Is the clean up still on? I'm so bummed about the closure that I'm just sick! [Frown]

But if the clean up is still a go, I'll most likely be there! [Roll Eyes]

The cleanup is absolutely still on. Even if they successfully "close" comp, there's lots of trash out there from years of use.

The worst that could happen is we'll all be done a lot sooner than expected [Big Grin]

Your right Vicki, I'll be there. Besides, I'm curious to see what comp will look like after a night of being shutdown! [Skull]

Yup, I will be there with a truck. [Big Grin]

Some items we might also bring..

-Rakes for where fires were lit.
-Music....?? Someone got a bumpin stereo??
-One of those drag-behind deals would be the bomb!!! rail or quad can drive around picking up all kinds of stuff.. [Big Grin]

How about some flyers? I could put one together and hand them out this weekend. Boardmanville and Sweet Marie's would probably help. Might even get some help from the toll takers?

on T.day,well I finally move to phoenix an now comp. hill is closed at night!I will never see the
"Hill" lit at night on a holiday?My question is what's going to happen when the 1000's of rider's get po'd/with a little buzz from drownding there
sarro's,an unite?I think if you want to run the hill there should be a breathalizer at the base,you pass,you run? just a thought....
ps. If a dually with little tread can get around in the sand?Im game for the transport of garbage!
Chances are good I'll be the only blk.dually with N.Y. plate's.....see you there.

Maybe we should lite candles in memory of the"Hill"at night?

You know myself and QG will be there helping out. We're staying with the fools at the Wash 14 gathering, so if you're there too and ya hear me start up the rail at 8:30am, get your foggy eyed arse out of bed, plug in the caffeine IV, and join us. [Big Grin]

I figure we can have a cool dune rip over to Comp, and another blast through the soft stuff when we are finished. [Disturbed]
