Cleanup Trash, Grafitti & Fire Prevention in The Hood

[Member 34319]

Dispersed should be AOK!

I'd be curious if there is a landing near trout creek, cedar creek or alder creek.

Whatever you decide, just pin it on the map and I'll be there.

I just may have to trip up there next weekend to see what's up. I've been gone every weekend for a few now, so I'm sure I'm about to get in trouble! Gotta brush up on my 'sweet talkin' skills!

Crossing my fingers I'll be able to go still. Not looking good as I'm re-organizing my garage. I have to free up some wall space for the powerwalls for the roof I'm getting.

@Cogs Its Fathers day weekend. You are going to get a nice lunch and go for a scenic drive to relax and enjoy the day.

Sounds good to me!

Actually, if I leave early enough, she may still be sleeping by the time I return! That's Saturday mornings at our house.

We have raised enough money to purchase the graffiti solvent! So I ordered it.

Miller Paint in Gresham is donating the 5 gallons of Anti-graffti coating!

We're covered!!!

Thanks to everyone who donated! And thanks to everyone who has clicked the 'Going ' button!

We're about to do something good up there in the Hood!

Found it! Great camping spot for Friday night... It's the Wildcat Trailhead Parking lot. Lots of room, some good flat ground and 4 mins to the shooting area. It's the first road to the right, just after the road to the shooting site. Some pot holes but can easily be avoided. All pavement the whole way.

Best spot is on the immediate right when you come in to the parking lot. (Where the Sheriff's & Search and Rescue are parked in these pics. (I thought I was going to join them in a search for someone, but they were only there on a training mission).

This crap greets you as you come to the parking lot. It will be gone by Saturday!!!

How many people you got

 

[Graingodguy]

Ehhh, no! But nearby would be nice. It's always easier to get out the night before than early the same morning. If someone is more familiar with the area and knows a good spot, I'd be game.

Hey Reno if you have a chance I have a place to lay

 

[Cogs]

How many people you got

The top of the thread says 10 attending but we usually get double the number.

As for those who are camping, don't know. Probably 6 to 8?

Did you get enough money Bill

 

[Cogs]

Did you get enough money Bill

Yes. $375! That covered the solvent, and I covered the shipping. Then, Miller Paint donated the graffiti blok! So, we got what we need for this project.

I'll post some pics later this evening. I went there this morning. Wow, what a mess!

"Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept, is to remove the trash from these shooting lanes, remove the fire hazard logs within the lanes, and remove the graffiti from the rocks. As always, should you or any of your Volunteer Force be caught or killed, the Forest Service will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This post will self-destruct in ten seconds. Good luck, Jim."

[jbett98]

It's going to be a hot one on Saturday, bring plenty of water.

 

[jbett98]

Also, if you have any extra factory 9mm or .45 acp ammo you would like to see go down range in a hurry, I'm bringing a couple of fun guns to the cleanup.

 

[SrMachoSolo]

Excited! I'll be heading up to camp out the night before, see you guys soon.

Looks good. I'll see you Friday night. I'll leave here around 5, be there around 6-630.

I'll be close behind you. Pick a good spot big enough for 8 to 10 people and we should be covered.

I'm already loaded with the camping gear in the back seat. The big water tank is loaded too. I'll finish loading the rest of the gear this week and be ready for departure Friday evening, right after work.

I'm planning to do a demonstration of our graffiti removal system, by cleaning off that crud on the street just before the trailhead parking lot on Friday evening. You're going to love the water set up we have going on. We are now so totally portable and remote, we can go anywhere and be ready to pressure wash at will! Even if it means pumping uphill!
