MiGO Cleans a County-Roscommon Cache In Trash Out® Event

MiGO Cleans a County-Roscommon

Hosted by Vanman_30 & Sleepyweasel73

Sponsored by the NL Chapter of MiGO

Roscommon County has the 2nd highest number of dump

sites in the Adopt-a-Forest  program (1st is in the UP)

We plan to clean Adopt-a-forest sites in Lyon, Lake,

Markey, Backus & Roscommon Townships

(About 1/2 of the county, more if we get enough people)

We are working with the DNR's Adopt-a-Forest program to clean

up reported dumpsite. We will be requesting support of businesses

and individuals to provide the materials and dumpsters required

for the cleanup. The program's funding is limited and we

hope to use them as a last resort. We will ask people to take

home a few bags if they can be safely transported to be

put out for their normal trash pick-up. The tires will be

hauled to a DNR collection site in Grayling while scrap metal

will be recycled. Further recycling efforts will be made

but will require further sorting at dumpster sites

The rooms are under- "Geocaching-MiGO"

We currently have a block of 5 rooms available @ $55/night
They had 13 rooms available, 2 of which have kitchenettes that carry a slightly higher cost.
The more rooms we book over 5, the lower the price will go.
This resort is owned by a local family and coming highly recommended.

There are a few chain motels further west in Houghton Lake, 

yet they come at a much higher cost and are not willing to deal in the summer.

people attending and any equipment you can bring
