Cleanup Trash, Grafitti & Fire Prevention in The Hood

[Caveman Jim]

Enjoy guys, I'm stuck tending a HUGE garage sale.
If it gets too hot I'll go hide in "The Room"…

4:30, I'm outta here! We're East bound and down, loaded up and truckin.

Made it back okay. Wow the temps down here are huge! Should have stayed up there! Everyone else okay?

We are home. Poured water on us more than a few times driving. It is hot out.

I kicked off the AC in the truck a couple time, just to get a feel for what Craig and Tracy were going through. Geez! You two must be toasted!

I got the AC going, but am thinking about creek to cool off in...

Car wasn't liking the drive home. It's been a long time since I've felt a vehicle struggle with heat, I was really surprised it felt so sluggish. Temp gauge on the dash read 110 just at the Clackamas 205 overpass.

Once unpacked and the shade hit the side of the house the hot tub is on I jumped in. Set it to 96 a few days ago. Felt good.

Thanks for hosting @Cogs and thanks for lunch @citizen a

I couldn't imagine sitting out there in the heat like that, it was bad enough to sit in the shade in the shop with the big bubblegum fan blowing hot air…
I had to take four or five trips into "the room".

It was real nice up where we were, Jim. A slight breeze helped and most of the cleanup area was in the shade. It was the 'After Party' where it was hot. Direct sunshine on the firing line. Otherwise, I wonder if we even hit 90 up there. We were done around 11:30 and proceeded with the lunch and prizes. I left about 3 and it was still nice. So we didn't feel the real heat till we came down off the mountain.

It was good to see everyone today. It was amazing the difference after the cleaning was done. I am also very appreciative of Clackamas County Dump Stoppers being up there to haul away the loot. That sure took some pressure off. I am also very grateful to all of the kind people who shared their toys generously with my two boys. They have been talking non stop about it. And again, thanks @Cogs for putting this event together. Go TNL!

Clean range.

If it is this hot at another clean-up, I will volunteer for the pressure washer duty. Great to see everyone and meet the new people. It was a lot of fun.
The pool was nice when we got home. Going to start the unload process soon. We got a lot done as a group and the areas looked great.

Was able to sort through the camp out pics. Will do the cleanup pics tomorrow.

Here's a brief peak at the beginning of our project... (Full report yet to come)...

And here's the final result of the graffiti part...

That sounds like a great time to be had, love the mountains! Glad it was tolerable for all.

It was great meeting up with members of NWFA. Nice work everyone, I am definitely in for another clean up. The hotdog and chips really hit the spot at lunch time!

 

[Cogs]

And here's the Crew that got it done! Missing a few. I believe there were 28 volunteers all together! Very cool!
