A few of us will come up to help with the clean up on Saturday. We don't wheel in the Maclean area but we recognize what is happening will affect us all.

Problem is we probably won't make it by 9am so it would be nice to have some directions on how to find the clean up crew when we do arrive. I haven't been in the Maclean area for quite a few years.

Hi Stephen! We thank you for volunteering your time! We will be either on the Fisher East or Fisher West trails first. Have you ever been to McLean before?

If not, when you come in, you will see a little store on the right. The road will branch off in a Y direction from there. Follow the road to the LEFT and stay on there until you come to a large staging area called Fisher East on the left. Fisher West is just a little ways further up the main road. Drive up there, I'm sure you will see us along the main trail.

There is no cell reception there unfortunately, but there's enough of us that you should be able to spot someone.

If all else fails, look for the Warthog

I'll have my waggy there as well

We'll find you. Won't be bringing any trail rigs just a truck or two to do some work. Hopefully we won't need aggressive tires to access the areas you're cleaning.

No aggressive tires needed... we will be staying pretty much on the main roads. Thanks again for your support! I look forward to meeting you..

Alright everyone....

GLOBAL TV will be there with cameras interviewing us and filming our cleanup tomorrow. Bring your trucks, keep it clean and show gthe city what responsible users are doing to keep the areas open.

I spoke to Caroline Curry for about 20 minutes and she asked me a bunch of questions so hopefully I dont come out sounding like a dork haha.

See you all tomorrow!!! I might be picking up some food to bring for the volunteers... just dogs & pop or something for later. You're all welcome to come by our campsite after the day is done to relax.

Erin & Clay

Please if you get interviewed tomorrow, make it known how disappointed we are at how the MEDIA protrays us ALL as the big bad 4x4s and that it is all the 4x4s fault. Put some of the responsibility back on them

My $0.02 after dealing with the media for several years is if you try to push blame on them they will make you look worse.

Remember you get to tell your story once - they get to interpret it anyway they want and you don't get a chance for a rebuttal.

Best advice is to have one or two soundbites and stick to the soundbites. Don't get sucked into answering other questions or venting. Stay calm, cool and professional. Most of all give a positive message and don't poke blame at others.

Another thing to remember is nothing is off the record and the microphone is never off when you are speaking to them. Just because the camera isn't pointed at you doesn't mean they're not recording what you're saying.

You are probably right. I just would like to kick them in the ballz that is all

Apparently there will be a report on Global news tonignt, saturday,at 6 and 11. I think that is channel 7.

Should be a favorable report, but we will have to wait and see.
