Hodge Rd. and it's mess

[bigchinner]

So, I actually have never been to this site to shoot before but used to go off-roading on the other side/stoddard wells. I have seen and read clean up efforts here and pics and I realize this place needs help. I think getting a trash bin donated or paid for by BLM or anyone else might be difficult but how about we just start by taking 2 or as many as you can, large plastic 50 to 80qt totes or bins to load up. Trash cans have loose lids and can topple over during our drives, wherever we may be going.

Well, I guess nobody will be surprised when BLM shuts down Hodge Rd.

Too many slobs and not enough people like yourself that care. I blame the dumbing down of America.

[Retiredinparadice]

Still looking for help cleaning up hodge road? I've never shot there and Im not close but Im up for it if no one else is stepping up.

[baranski]

Ive never shot there either but willing to help cleanup.

It is basically the other side (west side) of
Stoddard valley OHV area off the 15 freeway after Barstow. My first time and just did some plinking but looks like people really haven't cared much about this place. Well, when we can get a crew of people who can commit, it should be done. The clean up looked like a great success in Riverside from the other post.

I applaud your zeal. Just for clarity. YES, west of 15 across from Stoddard Wells OHV. Which is just north of Victorville. Not AFTER Barstow, unless traveling South from Barstow.

And I'm sure BLM would "shut it down" if they could. But they can't. That's all private property.

There have been other clean ups there. But like most public shooting areas. There are more pigs than responsible adults everywhere in CrapOfornia.

The place would benefit greatly from a concerted clean up effort like this.

[TheReluctantCraftstronaut]

A friend of mine recently suggested we head up that way for some target shooting. I normally go on BLM land that's not well traveled to avoid other shooters, but if something comes together in the nearish future to clean up Hodge, I'll show up and help. I don't have a truck, but I can bring out a trash bag or two in my jeep and help fill up other bags for someone with more capacity than me.

They is a solid 2 1/2 hour drive for me... to far...

But I'm glad people are bringing up the trash issue.

[Neil McCauley]

I drove by last Saturday and it seemed very slow, probably has to do with the cost / lack of ammo.

[Wheellock]

I've never been there, but it's close to me. I would help on a clean up effort.

[maga2020]

What day are you guys doing this cleanup?

[M60A1Rise]

I've never been there but have always wanted to go , lmk if a clean up is going to happen i'm in. It'll take me about 90 mins i'm sure depending on day of week and time of day , traffic going North is rough. I'm in though and of course we'll bring guns right ?

[edgerly779]

Hodge rod is not blm someone posts that fud all the time.

[krypto99]

I’m interested in the clean up. PM me if this goes down.

[wpod]

I park there overnight occasionally (truck driver).
No, I don't toss bottles of urine on the ground.
It's quiet at night and only a few hours from home Bullhead City.
