elaine Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) Climb Max and the Circuit are getting on board. There will be a BBQ for all volunteers and FREE BEER! Join the Access Fund for this bi-annual clean up. Date- October 8th Time- 10 am-1 pm Where- Rocky Butte is located about 1 mile east of the 82 & Fremont interection. Park along the road across from the City Bible College Trash removal, route cleaning, and ivy pulling all need to be done. Volunteers must be 16 years old due to ODOT regs. Bring a wheelbarrow if you have one, and any rakes or loppers for ivy removal are needed. Some climbing gear provided for route cleaners. We'll be out there rain or shine. Lots of swag and prize raffle. Many thanks! Kellie Access Fund RC- Oregon Edited September 20, 2006 by elaine Quote
billcoe Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) You said free beer? See you there Kellie. ____________________________________________________________ About 30+ showed to pick up the glass, condoms and yank Ivy. It's a trueism that many hands make light work..or something like that. Best turnout ever. CC.comers seemed under-represented with Knottygirl, Hemp22 and possibly one or 2 others, seemed like there were some Mazamas who showed up who make me look young.....great to see Thomas Miller and Bob McGowen again too. Started raining just as Climbaxe folks Darren Stone, Logan and __________ (insert name of other Climaxe owner dude who really did the serious BBQ work here) started bar-b-q-uing on top. A raffle was held for some Climaxe stuff as the smoke started to curl skyward and the tops were popped. One more reason to buy your gear from them in case you needed one. Great folks. They support us, we should support them. I think I've got to do a better job of networking as I didn't meet the Circuit folks who might have been picking up crap instead of yaking and chatting. ps, got my highest sting total at the Butte today with 8 wasp stings approx 30 feet below the base of Video bluff, which today had recieved the honorary title of Vacumn Cleaner Bluff. A small consolation prize was tearing my shirt off, throwing it on the ground, and stomping on a bunch of them which seemed tangled in the polarfleece. Big time props to Kellie for a fantastic organizing job as usual. Edited October 9, 2006 by billcoe Quote
elaine Posted October 9, 2006 Author Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks, Bill, for coming out again. I'm sure you'll make use of your new flask! I counted 44 volunteers ( a personal record for me), with the 3 that showed up after 12:00 from the Explorer Scout troop! We managed to get a few climbing routes cleaned of litter and debris, plenty of ivy was wrestled with, and those that got acquainted with the family of yellowjackets removed the half of the car that was dumped near the Silver Bullet Bluffs. Josh from Climb Max was the Master Chef. Many thanks to Climb Max for their continued support for the Access Fund, a few neighborhood folks showed up, the Mazamas brought out a good crew of volunteers, a gal from Eugene made the drive up, and even Bob McGown made an appearance!! A few recent transplants became offical Northwesterners as they enjoyed a burger and PBR in the rain! Thanks, all! Good times!! Kellie Access Fund RC- Oregon Quote
Knottygirl Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 hmmm....lots of people seemed to be tearing off their clothes at the butte yesterday! Damn wasps! Well at least the front end of the car was hauled away (not before it upset the wasps). Quote
