Revive the Butcher Jones Cleanup Run!

I was just out at Butcher Jones yesterday and when I got out to the first cove it was a disgrace! We should really do something about this. I packed out about 3 full garbage bags between my girlfriend and myself but I didnt have anymore bags to pack out any more. We should revive the original thread and get a group to go. If anyone is interested let me know. 2 or 3 trucks total should be enough to at least make a dent! I'm in so there is one. If the wrong people saw that mess we are at risk of having a pretty fun area shut down.

I will be going out again in the next few weeks and bringing more garbage bags. Whoever wants to join is more than welcome.

 

i would unfort no 4x4

 

side note interested in going to oak creek canyon tomorrow and on the way back hitting new river canyon? theres a thread in arizona for this if you wanna join

 

Don't need 4x4 for most of Butcher Jones but a locker is good to have... which you probably don't being a 4 banger. You could always ride with us though! Also, I'm still down I just can't do wed-sat's

Also the thread is still stickied.

 

ya i can ride along next time you guys go out if im off work!

idk what you mean by stickied

 

Wish I could. I have to work.

 

Good on ya for working on keeping trails clean and well maintained...which helps keep them open.

Not anywhere near me..but Rep and a bump for your thread!!

 

Why don't we just get together this Sunday or the next?

 

Ironically, next sunday is one I can't do LOL... but the one after I'd be good

 

Lets do it then. Sunday the 17th. I might have to drag out the whole family so no hardcore wheeling but the little ones make for good helpers with the cleanup!

We can just meet up by the entrance at a time we will set closer to the date.

 

Guess it might just be me. Still going out this Sunday. Let me know if anyone wants to join.

 

I'll Go! I'm in Chandler too and we can meet up and roll out up there. What time? and what do you think I should bring? (clean up wise) (i have full recovery gear except a hi-lift)

 

I might still be in, should know more tomorrow. BTW, there is a sign posted for using the north entrance off hwy 87 (same you'd enter for El Oso Rd on 4 Peaks). It wasn't chained up but, could be by Sunday.

 

So what is the plan????

 

Well Sense I never heard at what time I'm not going be able to go.

 

wow, we were out there yesterday (jan 17) and its a mess, depending the final date I'd be will to help.

 

Sorry about that. My internet went down and didn't get it back up and running til today. I ended up going out there early with a few friends and grabbed a few bags worth from the first cove out. I think it was actually worse than last time I was there. It is going to take a few of us out there to make a solid dent.

 

The entrance by the lake said it was going to close? How do you get to the area from up by four peaks? I have never gone that route.

 

You do know about the huge clean up going on Feb 6th? Last year there were over 500 volunteers with 21 tons of garbage picked up.

 

I do and I'm already signed up for it. It is in the Four Peaks Cleanup thread right?
