Hi all,
I'm new here- even though my join date says 2005 I haven't been active on the forum until recently.
I live in the Ft. Walton Beach area, south of the massive Eglin Reservation. It truly is a wonderful place for all kinds of outdoor recreation including 'wheeling, though the rules are stringent. It's enjoyable to get out and just cruse the trails and get lost out i the woods for hours.
BUT, many of these trails are trashed. Furniture, burnedout cars, appliances... you name it, it's out there.
I've been kicking around the idea of attempting to organize a clean-up effort in conjunction with the Jackson Guard in order to make the Reservation a nicer place for everyone and to help keep it open and give the base commander of Eglin AFB a better impression, hopefully convincing him to continue to alow public use of the land he controls.
The problems I need some help on are:
I will need LOTS of volunteers! People with pickups, trailers and winches will be a HUGE help.
Disposal... obviously it's not going to do any good to pick up all of this trash if we've got no where to put it!
Help me out with some ideas and maybe, just MAYBE I can make this idea a reality!
