SUMMER TIME BRINGS NEW UPDATESNow that summer has started that only means 1 thing for Clean-Dezert. Time to get our butts in gear and start planning for Barstow 2010. So the date is already set for Nov. 13. This happens to fall the weekend before the Baja 1000, and the weekend after a MDR race in barstow. Not the greatest weekend, but last year around 400 volunteers showed up to take part in our event. So we figured we even though there is alot going on, we think everyone will come out and show thier support.
We are hoping to come back out to barstow with some more great raffle prizes from our sponors and new ways to keep everyon entertained for the weekend.
Keep a look out for the new line of 2010 clean-dezert shirts, should be on sale within the next couple weeks. And also possibly a truck show put on with offroad magazine for late summer. We are really excited about all this new stuff, and hope you guys are too.

4/18/09 Earth Day Clean-up OCOTILLO WELLS
Clean-dezert just got back from attending this event. What a great time we had out there. They had breakfast waiting for us when we showed up to sign in. We got our stuff and headed out. We were able to fill 2 truck beds full of trash... and by trash i mean cans, bottles, wrapers, and paper towels. This is nothing like barstow where you can grab washing machines... This is down and dirty with trash bags. I feel like we made a pretty good dent in the park. At noon they provided a wonderful lunch with burgers, hot dogs, chips and nice cold refereshments. The raffle was another highlight of the day, with tons of great prizes to be won by all. Cant ask for a better weekend in the desert, Friends, cleaning, food and a feeling of accomplishment.
I want to Thank my friends Jeff, Amber, Mikey, Kevin and JosB for taking the time to come out and help. Without you guys clean-dezert could not go on. So thank you.
And also a huge thanks goes out to Doug from http://www.drive-racing.com/ for taking time out of his busy schedule and doing his part. This really shows his dedication to the offroad industry, his love for the desert, and how great of a person he is. If you are not familiar with DRIVE RACING please go out and support his series.

Johnon Valley Meetings
Due to the low turn outs during the mini clean-ups. Clean dezert has decided to focus our energy in a new direction. We would like to ask everyone to schedule their time to try and make one of the following meetings regarding the Johnson Valley land closures. We all need to show our support for the land. Many of us being racers would be devistated if they closed all of Johnson Valley. This is exactly what they are proposing to do. We would no longer have camp rock road, or bessimer mine race courses open. The same courses that we use for our beloved MDR night race. So please find a meeting you can attend and be there to do your part.We will also be trying to set up carpools from OC, IE and possibly SD for anyone who is interested.
The Meetings will be as folllows:
1. Wed. December 3, 2009, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Twentynine Palms, CA;
Location: Twentynine Palms Junior High School, Hay's Gym,
5798 Utah Trail, Twentynine Palms, CA;
2. Thurs. December 4, 2009, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Victorville, CA;
Location: Hilton Garden Inn Victorville,
12603 Mariposa Road, Victorville, CA;
3. Fri. December 5, 2009, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Ontario, CA.
Location: Convention Center, 2000 E. Convention Center Way, Ontario, CA.
Sorry if this is an inconvience for anyone. However this is something we strongly believe in trying to keep open. While cleaning the desert is a great way to do our part. We feel this is something that NEEDS to be done. Please show up and speak your mind.

Aug 16th Night race.

The biggest race of the year for the 1450 class. 40+ entered and 35 off the line. Clean-dezert decided to put fencing up at the rock pile this year to keep all participants safe as well as spectators. The last thing we need is a race truck getting squirly and taking out the crowd. With the help of a couple racers we put up roughly 400ft of fencing at the rockpile, which seemed to be a big hit. It kept the spectators off the course and also made the landing of the jump open and nice.
Clean-Dezert also rounded up a group of individuals from Dezertrangers.com to place trash cans up at the rock pile since this area was going to be hosting 400+ people for the race. Travis, Carlos, Tim, Alan & Art handed out trash bags all night long, Made sure the trash cans were being used and took care of the area. While i was busy racing they took care of clean-dezert for me. I cannot thank them enough. Sunday morning I went up to the rock pile to take down the fencing and pick up the trash, however all the trash had been removed. Thank ou again guys. Job well done.
The clean-dezert race truck ended up 5th in class out of 35+ starters. We had zero problems the whole race and rand as fast as the motor would let us. Only thing holding us back now is motor.

Lucerne Cleanup Recap

Our second cleanup of the 2008 Mini Cleanup series took place at the end of Bessemer Mine Road and Soggy Dry Lake in Lucerne Valley. This was our first cleanup in this area and we weren't completely sure what to expect. Because of it's isolated location, we were confident that there would be less large refuse, unlike Barstow which is right off a major freeway.
Sure enough, the bulk of the work involved picking up stray trash stuck in the bushes near the restroom...
