I've put this up on the other AZ hunting boards and thought I'd put it up here.
There have been a couple of questions about start time and it is when you get there.
I know some of you guys hunt 42 so here is something to think about. There is going to be a cleanup there early next month. There is alot of trash starting to gather in some of the more popular spots. Another thing is that people are dumping tires. Big piles of tires are starting to show up.
Here's some info I got hold of.
Dear Volunteer,
Thanks for helping out on the first ever unit 42 clean up event. The main clean up and activities will take place on Saturday February 7, 2009. Directions to the camp are below and on the attached map. The roads are paved all the way with the exception of the last ¼ mile of graded dirt road to the camping area. If you are just coming out for the day please stop in at the information area for some guidance on where to park and what will be happening. If you are parking a trailer or pitching a tent we can also point you in the right direction at the info area. We will have some water available but you will need to bring any food with you or head to Wickenburg or Tonopah for supplies (20 miles each way). Our fire pits will be available to anyone wishing to cook or warm up during the day and night.
We will have various Information and Education displays and activities going on Saturday. Bring the kids and you may find something fun to do during the breaks from cleaning up trash. Some of the activities planned include an air gun station, geocaching, coloring, and maybe a live animal or two to check out.
I hope to see you there.
