Default The Slab Cleanup

Randy from Meacham and I tagged along with Clay and some of the guys from the Eastern Washington Off Road Forum and, in conjunction with the Dust Dodgers Motorcycle Club, participated in a cleanup party at The Slab. We gathered up three loads for the dump consisting of bottles, papers, plastic, tires, a couple of motorcycle frames, a refrigerator door, miscellaneous hunks of wood and plain old garbage. It was a sunny day and we had a great time, but now I know the wind does blow at The Slab!!!

Good job to all. It amazes me how people will dump their trash like that.

At least it wasn't too far to haul the trash to the dump.

The Slab ORV Area Clean-up
Hosted by the Dust Dodgers.
Saturday, March 1st, 2008

We met up in the parking area around 10 AM. We started the clean up we the parking area first.












After some time working the parking area we took Power Line canyon to the east boarder. We took the boarder trail around to the South. I found a refrigerator door and put it on top of the XJ. As we were stopped at the next mess, we had a spider come down from the refrigerator door.

We headed back and dropped of the refrigerator door and the rest of the stuff we picked up.

We headed back out to the center canyon. We came close to getting hit by a guy on a bike when we were down there picking up trash. He kept flying by us. I guess he tought we didn't belong there and were just there to be in his way. The time I got back in the Jeep and go the camara out, he had moved on.


Here is Monster walling the trail from trash.




Monster has been at all the clean-up with me and works very hard.


We headed back to the parking area with more trash. This was the last run to the dump for the Dust Dodgers club.


Over all this was a fun day. The Slab ORV area is cleaner, I met some nice people and had fun wheelin' for trash. Thanks to all that could make it out.
