Great effort but I only wish someone had told me that is was going to happen. Don't always have time to check the forums and all the sites I have book marked. Had I known, I would have made sure we at the Sparks Tribune would have covered the event. If anyone is doing anything like this please let me know. After the hatchet job the RGJ did on everyone about Hungry Valley we did a three-part series on the situation. Not everyone enjoyed what was written and I'm still trying to find the time to read all three parts. I do know that our reporter was trying to be as fair as she could. As for me, I'm waiting until the next clean up in the Hungry Valley area, which I think will be sometime in January. I intend to do a feature on that. With all the bad press that has happened lately, both the desert racers and motocross riders can use all the good press they can get. Be sure to not only let me know about these events but contact the local TV stations as well. It's going to take a good effort on education to get the word out and it will be a long campaign. Other than that, wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and a fast, safe New Year. Dan McGee - Daily Sparks Tribune I'm waiting and will cover the next clean up out there.

well we do have plenty of memories and photos if you would like to do a follow up piece I would gladly give you all the details.
p.s. the rgj, the reno news and review, news channel 2, and KREN news channel 6, all promised they would be there and not one of them showed up

thats dumb, why would someone whose job it is to cover events that go on in our area bail out? there must have been an exciting weather change..or maybe they were just too pumped about reporting that this weekend is supposed to be a big travel weekend! i honestly think helping out people by bringing in tons of food and trying to help out the community is worth a lot of respect and should be recognized as a kind gesture to everyone. I think that the food drive got disrespected by all of those people for absolutely no reason. for what its worth richie, you have a lot of respect in my family, and im sure with everybody else's family on this forum, for doing this. thanks for trying to help out
