Yes, you could drive the Z back to the quarry even in the rain. It's about 2 mi + back to it. Do not speed as the road is graveled and at times potholes but driving it is not too bad.Appreciate the info - you think I'd be able to get up there tomorrow considering the rain this week?
So, just wondering if you made it up to the quarry on Wednesday?Appreciate the info - you think I'd be able to get up there tomorrow considering the rain this week?
I have not but the State Forest website does show that it is still open. Only closes if the gravel business needs into it.Have folks been here lately? Still open due to COVID-19?

I put this in my Bookmarks so I can look to see if the quarry is open for shooting. Go early, and if it gets crowded or unsafe just leave. Sheriffs do cruise through.

well... true... LOL!
But i'll tell you this, coming from CA, OR is much better! I was not a gun owner previously (in CA) and always used kids as an excuse. But now, it's a different story. Plus, I am glad that I have a supportive wife that's okay with me teaching my boys about firearms.
Curious, where did you learn?well... true... LOL!

@Martini_Up, not sure what you mean...
You said you weren't a gun owner in CA and now in OR you are. You said you're now teaching your kids about firearms. Where did you yourself learn about firearms? It's a common question we ask on this site and somewhere there's a open thread where we all share where we learned. Seeing you were a relatively new firearm owner and now teaching your own kids, was curious and asked.
As for teaching my boys, i've started with gun safety rules and basic firearm components. they know we have it at home and are locked. I don't think i would let them shoot anything until i feel like they are mature enough to have the respect for firearm. even then, i would have to do a lot of 1:1 session before taking them both out with me at the same time. my basic believe is to better teach them young so they know what to do, than to have them come across without me being there and get hurt.
I would change one thing. I always took all my kids out together, as they can only benefit from watching their sibling learn. Of course only one shooting at a time, but the other(s) watching and listening to safety tips and instructions. And even after the first shooter is done, that child gets to listen and watch the second shooter. It just adds to their safe learning experience.
