I have heard back from the DNR and here is the information:
Chuck Lamica, DNR Recreation Warden will be in attendance at our cleanup and expects to be at the site at approximately 9:30 am. He will arrange for a Dept. of Corrections crew to pick up and haul away the trash, we need only to pile it up in a central location. He has some garbage bags available but encourages us to bring additional bags as there is lots of trash out there. We do not need a Discovery Pass to participate in this cleanup as long as we both participate in the effort and sign a Volunteer Waiver form. (we will need to sign this regardless in order to release the State from liability)
I'm thinking we should meet out at Nine Mile at the old location of Dave's Guns. There is ample parking available and leaving from this location will avoid any stop signs or traffic lights which could break up our caravan. To get to the old Dave's Guns drive out Francis until it turns north and becomes Nine Mile Rd (Hwy 291). Continue on this road several miles until you get to the community of Nine Mile. On your right you will see a small square concrete building which used to be Dave's. I believe it is next to the gas station/convenience store. Let's plan on meeting at 8:45 and depart Nine Mile at 9:00 for the range. This should put us there around 9:30 to meet up with Chuck.
If you have not attended an SGT cleanup in the past here is a link to one held some time ago. It's four pages of replies but if you look at the last couple of pages you will see lots of pictures.
