Great turn out!
I took a few before & after pictures...

We (Virgil, some NRA dude, and a few other HG people) worked area 1 on the south side of the road.
Pictures don't do this area justice... but it was in bad shape! We worked the area for solid 4+hr's filled a few truck beds & my trailer.
Over all I think they said there were 300 people out there.

A trucker decided to turn around in this small area with a double trailer full of hay... woops! (it was gone by the time I left)



Area 1 before



After

Wow! Great job guys.

I was at area 7 with James, Bill and others. I don't have pics, but that place was a mess. We found everything from paint cans to a life size Stone Cold Steve Austin cut out.

Chad hauled a truck load of trash out of Site 1 to the dumpsters and then was going to find Bill and company. Russ also made it out after he got off work and helped at Site 1. His TJ is in one of my pics.

Managed three bed loads before the day was done. It's a shame we have to do it but i'm glad we did. Looking forward to the next one somewhere else. White tanks need attention...

Wow! Lots of trash. Next time bringing the family.

Special Thanks to HigherGround4x4 for helping out at the Table Mesa Cleanup. Officially, we had just under 400 people sign in at the check in tables. We quickly filled all three 40yd dumpsters and had an overflow garbage pile big enough to fill at least one more dumpster. We should have the final tonnage number later this week.

It was a very successful event, and it was really cool seeing all the different types of desert recreationists come together to help keep our trails clean and open. After the cleanup, we had a nice lunch and held a giveaway drawing. Thanks again to all who participated, and I hope to see you on the trails soon!

I just got the final tonnage from the BLM: We collected just over 15 tons of trash! Thanks again to Higher Ground 4x4 for your help with the cleanup!!

Here is a link to Robert's (RJCX) photos from the cleanup. There are 52 images.
