Four Peaks Pickup, 09

Well, its that time of year again!
We got almost 300 people and cleaned up nearly 7 TONS of trash in addition to a burnt out FJ Cruisr last year.

The cleanup is scheduled for February 7th, 2009.

Thanks to our friends at Sierra Expeditions. Folks who want to contribute a couple bucks to the cost of the cleanup can do so at this link.

Any money left over will be donated to www.disabledexplorers.com and www.karmaracer.org

I went up to the Four Peaks and Sycamore area today. (the cleanup will be in both areas)
There is plenty of trash, especially on the sycamore side.








Sadly, the forest service has fenced off almost every area that we cleaned last year. Sad, because closing off areas seems to be the only thing they can do to keep areas clean. Also, this just forces the shooters to other areas to trash. It doesn't prevent it. Nice, because the areas stay clean...



Four Peaks was looking good!

I just picked up a load of water and over a thousand bags from Arizona Clean and Beautiful.

I want folks to have this link. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE LITTERING OR DUMPING KEEP THIS LINK OR TELEPHONE NUMBER HANDY.

http://www.arizonacleanandbeautiful....Form_page.html

The Litter Hotline (1-877-3LITTER)

Once you fill this out the perpetrator will get a letter like this:


Its "just" a letter, but many of these people would not want to get caught and this lets them know that they are being watched. It may not change their mind, but I REALLY do think that it will put enough fear into the perpetrators to think twice before doing it again for fear that they are being watched.
