I am going to organize an early morning dune cleanup on Sat. morning of our ride and meeting weekend.

I will get with Pete Lundborg and get some garbage bags and let him know what we are doing. I have helped do this with the Mid Michigan Fourwheelers on fathers day weekends for a couple of years. It is a good way to get some great PR and feel good about your efforts when your done!

I have also been out on the dunes before they open in the spring and you wouldnt believe the stuff laying on top of the sand. One of the park rangers has actually filled a small tool box with several hand tools he has found.

So with all the good stuff you can remove from the dunes there will be without a doubt a whole lot of junk, I would like to see us help in the removal of it.

I will be in the parking lot between 9:30-10:00 am to meet with anyone wanting to help, if you do not get that early of a start you should be able to find us roaming around and grab a couple of trash bags from us. I generally just drive around like I normally do but instead of passing up a piece of junk I stop and pick it up. Then when I leave the dunes I drop it in the dumpster on my way out.

So who's in?

ABSOLUTELY, bring him along&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; That&#39;s part of what we are all about now. Bring any interested party, friend, foe, realtive - it doesn&#39;t matter. Wheel a little and check us out&#33;

Awfully early. If Roadhouse makes it, then Saturday morning might be a little rough, he is a bad influence.

One way or the other we should be up for this too.

Pete, you get there when you get there&#33; Just glad to have ya

And Joe Jeep, it will be good to meet you and your friend.

Nobody has to feel obligated to show up in the parking lot that early, just find us out on the dunes :bigemo_harabe_net-64:

We are still planning on doing this cleanup as we drive around and enjoy the dunes. See you there&#33;
