other: Nov 13 - Sugarloaf Sycamore Clean-Up Effort

[dzJeepChic 2,897]

There's a cleanup at Sugarloaf / Sycamore that George and I have participated in for several years. We use this area pretty often, so we're all for the cleanup effort, and we'll be there. If anybody wants to go help out, sign up here & I'll communicate our numbers to the coordinator.

 

From the VJC:

 

Hello all, my name is Chad and I am a member of the VJC as well as the secretary for Copperstate 4 wheelers. I am in the early stages of planning a trail clean up for Saturday November the 13th for the Sugar loaf/Sycamore area. The trail clean up will start at 7AM meeting at the Sugar Loaf turn off on highway 87. I was really hoping for a big turn out as this area is in real need of attention. I want to get the word out. I would really like as many people as possible out there and I though this would be a great place to advertise this cleanup. As I said, planning is in the early stages, I have started with contacting the Tonto national forest, the Arizona state association of 4x4 clubs, TRAL, and here on the VJC. As updates become available I will forward them along. I can be contacted here on the VJC or at

chad@copperstate4wheelers.com

 

Thank you, Chad

Update that was posted.

 

Hi all. I've been trying to keep up this weekend and will be sending out mass emails tomorrow and posting up messages on all the various boards. The clean up is still a go for this Saturday November the 13th. The meeting time was planned for 7AM but I understand the early start time can put some people in a crunch so it is flexible of course. I'm happy to have volunteers come out regardless of when they arrive. We will plan on working to between noon and 1PM with the raffle being held at 1PM. The meeting location is approx 1/4 mile on the right after leaving highway 87 at the Sugar loaf turn off on the WEST side of highway 87. We will be having a raffle for all who attend. Also, Vitamin water has been gracious to donate several cases of water as well as Az clean and beautiful. Thank you in advance to everyone who will be attending and please pass the word. If you have any questions please contact me at chad@copperstate4wheelers.com.

Sounds good to me. It was 46 degrees in F.H. at 7:00 this morning, and I don't do cold very well. d

Well change of plans / heart

We (son & I) are gonna hit this clean up & spend a little time together.

 

Now pardon my lack of knowledge, but where exactly is the turn off for this area?

[dzJeepChic 2,897]

Hi Paul,

 

Take Hwy. 87 north past the Bush Hwy. turn-off. Keep going north (about 3 to 4 miles) to the turn-off (the next one I think) that goes either to Four Peaks (right) or Sugarloaf (left). You'll go left and down the dirt road a quarter mile or so to sign in.

 

Could I have made that anymore confusing for you?

So that should put us there 7:30ish

And Ill bring the trailer again too to help with the big stuff

Okay, well we'll be there a little later than that, and it's a HUGE area, so we might not see you until the lunch & raffle, but we'll be looking for you! Thanks for choosing to spend your Saturday on this much needed effort - the area has been abused. d

Everyone have fun and be safe, I'll be at a software developer class thingy, but would rather be outside!
