First off, thanks to anyone that participated. There was a lot of interest and a good turn out to make a great improvement in the area. We had people from all across the state and from different forums. Glad we could all get together and the weather held out. On to the pics

Mike -- good on you setting this up, again. And everyone else, kudos for showing and pitching in, it looks like you had a good time and I KNOW you had good food -- I damn near ditched the boys baseball games to come on up... I sat and froze my ass in Palmer Lake instead. :cheers:
 
And I will chip in a prop for Mike as well. Even though my Wife did most of the work (who dares say I'm stupid) She and I did make a contribution. Not a big one, but every bit helps.

IMO, this is the sort of project that NAXJA needs to be doing. I also think the the Chapter BOD should let the media know that we are caring for the environment.

All too often, the only press our hobby gets is negative... Our hobby is under siege by those that want to keep us on the road.
 
I really wanted to participate in this effort. Friggin' head cold........... :mad:

Congrats to all of you guys that did this! What a difference! :thumbup:

Sure wish I understood the politics/concerns as to why the Forest Service/Rangers couldn't/wouldn't help out with this........

I look forward to helping out with the next one!

Ya know. The more time goes on and the more clean ups there are, the more this is kinda chapping my ass.

I wouldnt be so mad if our FS wasnt so passive. They cant help us, but we see them driving around up there while we are doing the clean up??? wtf??? Thats total Bullshit, they get PAID to do that.

My friend was out here last weekend from Tahoe. Its funny to me everyone gives Cali this big bad rap for being shitty, but their mountains dont look like this. She came here excited to see how the rocky mountains and Pikes peak compared to Tahoe/truckee. She was embarassed for us and disgusted at how our wilderness looks. We went for a few hikes and the entire time were pickin up other peoples shit, stopping to talk to people who were doing stupid shit up there, and talking about what a joke it was. We passed FS SEVERAL times when they were near someone doing things that were bad/illegal. And they just waved and drove on. WTF?!

Tahoe is so clean because if you XXXX up out there you get a fine. A hefty one, that you wont easily forget. out here......Our rangers turn away and dont want to help....then compain we overloaded their dumpsters.......


:soapbox:
 
Mike,
You have every right to be up on that soap box. Would anyone be interested in starting a publicity campaign to shame both the idiots that are trashing the wilderness and the FS that let them do it?

IMO, it is time to go political on them...

timne for me to be on the box as well. We, as a group, need to make the problem known to the general public and to garner the props for actually going out and doing something about it. Most folk just wring their hands and cry "Woe is me" to the problem.

Any takers?
