We spent the day picking up trash, was about all we could do with our injurys. Fiona (Renee's daughter) and me walked down from the top of Firebreak 5 at the gates to the enterance of the last leg of Firebreak 5 picking up trash. Renee drove behind us to make sure we didn't get run over. We got about 3 full SOLVE bags, was thinking there would be more. Glad to see there isn't that much trash. I believe there was 3 different groups of clubs and people helping in different areas. Great job people  |

Thanks to all the poorboys that showed up... we had a total of 7  .. Also like to thank the members from raven offroad and the members of flat broke and 4wheeling for coming out to get this started. Sounds like raven is going to move the crushers around a lil' bit to try and keep the renagade wheelers from goig out of bounds and damaging areas next week. Thanks to the TSF staff for puting on the BBQ afterwards also. All in all a lot was done for the man power that showed. Also had some work done on a bike trail not sure what clubs but happy to see them too. Remember the more peeps we get out to theese the more ammo we have to show the TSF guys we are willing to kep our old trails open and get new ones started. |

Scott Motorcycle Club · NW Quad Riders · NW Tour & Trail · Oregon Motorcycle Riders Association · Poorboy Offroad.com · Raven Off-Road · Trailsmen Motorcycle Club, Inc. Additionally, we’d like to thank the clubs and organizations who worked with us to co-host the work parties for 2008.
