A big thanks to those who turned out to help clean up McKenzie Pass. Eurosports Bikes, Skis, Beer & Food Carts adopted the road some time back and usually one or two people can do the cleanup in several hours. This year, because of the repaving and road work, there was massive road debris and litter to pick up and it took a couple of days. Big thanks to Doug Gabert, Bruce Simon, and Karen Kassy for helping with cleanup.
