Pine Barrens Cleanup

Found this over on Pirate. Anyone doing it?

9th ANNUAL PINE BARRENS CLEANUP at WHARTON STATE FOREST



9 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 more to go and we've all done this for a DECADE!!!!!!!!

Come and take part in the largest one-day volunteer event at Wharton State Forest in New Jersey. On Oct 24nd 2010 at 9:00 AM the 9th annual PINE BARRENS 4 WHEEL DRIVE CLEANUP will begin with a sign up at the Atsion Ranger stations [where raffle tickets will aslo se sold to help defray the cost of wings] and conclude with the raffle and wing fest at the Pic a Lilly restaurant on rt 206 [they always help us out too]

Last year 200 men, women and children collected two 30 cubic yard dumpsters full of trash while making new friends and enjoying the wonders of the pines. While doing this they worked up a voracious appetite that was satiated by hundreds of wings donated by clubs, businesses and individuals. Before leaving there was a drawing where gift certificates, a gold music record award, books, under hood microwaves [big shout out to IKEA] and tons of other stuff were generously donated by members and their businesses. LIke the past 7 years everyone had a great time and said they couldn’t wait till next year.

We are now soliciting past participants, 4 wheel drive clubs and local and national business’ to contribute time and resources to make this year’s event another overwhelming success.

This as a great opportunity to showcase a partnership for keeping our state lands clean and our right to transverse them unhindered. The rangers and staff at Wharton have embraced us and lend their time and support to help us have a safe and fun time. Terry at the ranger station has been a godsend to us and NOW MORE than ever the state of NJ park and forest system needs our help.

ALSO REMEMBER TOYS FOR TOTS..

Last year we collected a lot of stuff for needy children for the holidays at the sign up spot at the Atsion ranger station!!!!!!!


Please be a part of this worthwhile event. Contact Michael Tarsia to see how your family, organization or business can contribute to this worthy cause.

yes i will be there

ill do my best to be there

I'll be there hopefully.

Ill do my damnest to make it

I'm in

I thought there was already a thread on this topic.
Anyhow:
I've been checking out the trash piles and put a route on my GPS.
The route should be good for 2-wheel drive except for a couple of short parts.

Most big trash piles are from 2-wheel drive vehicles, so they are not far from hard packed roads.

I also noticed a short cut with the low water, still too messy for my daily driver.

If we all ride together, we could have a lot of garbage picked up within two hours.

im camping over saturday night into sunday and wheeling both days..

when did you buy a jeep?

beginning of sept..

ill be there...86% sure

Where are you camping..
need firewood?

Will be there as well in the BII for the weekend, plan on being at Goshens Pond site

I might go. Depends on what truck I have and if I can get some tow points on it.
If I get the "new" Ranger on saturday, like I am planning, I might be there in my Ranger sunday.

Bring a truck, no tow points needed if you hang with me.
I just went out again, there is tons of trash to pick up.
I found an acetylene bottle today, tried getting the cap off to see if was empty, but my hammer was too small
.

I don't think I'll be going, pretty sure I blew my tcase last over the weekend, need to pull it apart to find out.
