Well we did make it up there today and we had a good turn out. I would say over a dozen people.
Working with a snow shovel and rake turned out to be more effort than it was worth and picking shells off the ground with gloved hands seemed to work best.
I would say we hauled out a few tonnes for sure!
Many thanks for Tommyinbc for his work in getting this organized with free dumping.
Nice to meet all you other fellow CGNer there also.
I think Tommyinbc will be posting some photos soon.

Yep, well done guys...Thanks for turning up and all the effort put it. Good to meet everyone. Didn't make a 'huge' impact but we hauled away quite a bit and other people also noticed and appreciated the effort as well. I'll post some pics soon..Damn I've got some aches and pains tonight...Must of been the 15 tyres we hauled up the hill
We also talked to a few of the 4 X 4 's who where there and gave them one of our free dumping letters and they said they would also be hauling out some goods.
I think we got the CGN name out there and let them know that there are some shooters who are responsible and want to set a good example for others.
Hopefully new guys searching this forum for "Sylvester Road" will see these posts and start acting responsibly when shooting.

Glad it was a good turnout, looking forward to the pics!
My load was 140KG of junk in the toyota, mostly shotgun hulls and 7.62 stripper clips, but a bunch of ceramic and a couple tires too.
Had a good time and got a bit of shooting in afterwards too! Thanks all.

Hey, good job on gettin a cleanup goin up there. I havent been up ther ein a number of years now and it was pretty bad back even then. I was wondering whats the road liek up there now? Am i going to need a truck to get in there or is the logging road in decent shape? last time i went up was in a civic.
Great Job !!!!
Wish I could of made it but I'm still in Halifax. Have to plan something again in 3 months.
I've seen cars up there. Just take it slow on the washboard and small pot holes. Nothing too severe until further up.
they cut a brand new washout now, less than 1/2 a kilometer from where the road turns to gravel. No cars anymore. The crap we cleaned up was amazing: drywall compound, full paint cans, toilets, motorcycle helmets, batteries, tv's, computers, etc..., all shot to pieces. Just amazing how bad that makes us all look.

Yeah, I don't think any cars will be getting up there. You will need a truck or suv for sure.
