Nothing big on the reports to remove (like cars). There is a matress, couch, table, and some chairs. The joke is, we are trying to make a fully furnished house this year. Mainly what Renee and me have seen is a lot of beer cans.
Is anyone from Pistons Wild planning on showing up?

I had a lot of fun at last years event, and plan on being there this Saturday. Last year my group had a dishwasher, chest freezer, several tires/rims, mattresses, and the grand finale was a camping trailer tipped on it's side.
Kinda curious what we'll find this year.

Good Morning, I thought I’d share some great news with you all regarding the successful volunteer partnership event that occurred in the Tillamook State Forest this weekend. It was a beautiful day, we worked with amazing volunteers, and at the end of the day everyone left feeling a great sense of accomplishment. The Oregon Department of Forestry partnered with SOLV to host the Tillamook Forest as one of 200 statewide project sites in SOLV's annual Earth Day "SOLV IT!" Event. The SOLV Sponsored Clean-Up was held Saturday, April 17th on the Forest Grove District. The event was a tremendous success as 51 volunteers worked with ODF staff in teams to remove a massive amount of garbage and debris from the Tillamook State Forest. In all 51 volunteers and 5 ODF employees removed: · 122 tires · approximately 12 tons of garbage (60 cubic yards) · 1 vehicle Clubs and Organizations that were represented included: · Dirt Church · Northwest Trail Alliance · Oregon Equestrian Trails · Cascade Cruisers · NAXJA · Oregon Bush Hackers · Our Gang Off –Road · Raven Off-Road · Ryan Godsey Family & Friends · Tillamook State Forest Trail Patrol · Tillamook Recreation Advisory Committee · Urban Wheelers Businesses or agencies that donated services were: · SWATCO Sanitary Service, Inc. which provided three 30-yard dumpsters, and free hauling services for the clean-up debris · Sweet’s Septic and Portable Service which donated the use of two porta-potties for the event · Maggie’s Buns which donated snacks for the volunteers · Oregon Department of Transportation which permitted use of the ODOT sand shed on Highway 6 as the staging area Thanks to everyone who participated!
