Attention AZ folks! There is a cleanup occurring NEXT WEEKEND in the Four Peaks Area! I will be there, along with one other guy from our crew. It would super awesome if we had a great showing at this event. These cleanups are near and dear to my heart as they help preserve the area's beauty, but also ensure our future recreational access. Below are the details for this cleanup.
More details, and a map!
It might be an awesome opportunity for a little camping trip on Friday night (or Saturday night) if anyone wanted to. I won't be able to, as I have to pick up and drop off my co-worker from the airport each night around 8pm. But, it would be cool to see you all arrange something.
Giveaway:
There is going to be quite a big giveaway/raffle during this event. We are contributing a pretty major prize, and there are other groups that have contributed some goodies as well! Of course, we will be giving out stickers and koozies on a first come, first serve basis for those who come help out!

What:
The 9th Annual Four Peaks and Sugarloaf Mountain Trail Cleanup is a great opportunity to join friends, meet new people, snag some KC swag, and help preserve the natural beauty of the Four Peaks Wilderness Area. This event has cleaned up over 66 tons of trash from these areas over the last eight years. There will also be free lunch and two big raffles!

I will do much better next time and of coarse I will be repping IDPOR and sharing the love with all the non-snowflakes.
