A great post by Sporting Systems, Vancouver. It's good to see them involved and concerned about public land recreational shooting. We need more of this!

Drove up there this afternoon, just to be sure I could find the place. 13.2 miles and 40 minutes from the Safeway parking lot at 162nd Ave and Fourth Plain.

Talked briefly with the three guys shooting, and told them we'd be there next Saturday for a cleanup.

Parking is limited where you pull off; probably 6-8 vehicles if everyone parks in such a way as to make room for others. About 50 yds up the road is another pull-off on the right for several vehicles, and another just beyond.

3/10th of a mile up the road is second area where folks have been shooting. Just looked from the road, but there is a huge gravel pile on a downhill slope where targets have been put up.

Yes, you had the right place. We'll do okay with the parking thing. Where those places very messed up? It's hard to tell at the first one because there's a lot of stuff behind the bushes. I'm not too excited about the gravel pile. There's no other backstop behind it and if you miss, a bullet will sail across the canyon. Sure enough, I saw someone had a target placed close to the top of it.

Thanks for the report. See you next Sat!

Let's revise the list once again. Because:

I just received a cash donation to help cover the BBQ food! You may thank @x2ndxall for the cash contribution! He posted earlier that he wouldn't be able to make it but would like to support our efforts. Very nice!

I'll do the best I can with the shopping list and try to get everything we need. If we're short, I'll post a last min notice and hope someone can fill the gap.

Have:

A dozen donunts... @WrenchNguns
Two cases water & cookies.. @NeverGoinBack
Hamburgers Hot Dogs & Buns (probably all the condiments too!)... Thanks x2ndall!!!

• BBQ equipment
• Cook & Cooks Assistant
• Sign-in Attendant to help people get signed in and hand out the free raffle tickets.
  
• Salad(s)

• Propane coffee pot and coffee
• Snack bars

Thank you!

Here's 3 more reasons to attend! Win one of these on Sat the 18th!

Thank you Sportsman's Warehouse, Vancouver, WA!!!

The Jet Boil holds about 4 cups of liquid, (soup, water, reheat coffee, can of beans, ect...), and a small propane bottle attaches to the bottom (propane not included). Has a push button ignitor and a thermal jacket around the outside. The burner detaches with an easy twist and the lid is designed to drink right from the cup. There's no box with this but it is brand new. Pretty cool.

I'll be announcing more raffle prizes this evening. From Sporting Systems and Butcher Boys Meats! Odds are real good at winning a prize. Remember, this raffle is free to all who attend. We don't sell tickets. It's an appreciation for your attendance, an incentive to encourage volunteers to join in and a way for our vendors to show their support for our work.

Thanks all!

Can anyone bring a portable BBQ grill? Mine is rather large for a small pickup that will be pretty loaded up.

A list of standard attire is in the original post. Beyond that, if you can help with one of the other things, we'd appreciate that!

Thanks, Drew! Good to have you aboard and looking forward to meeting you!
