Wifey and I might be able to get there. How much terrible dirt road is there to the meet-up area?

The road to the meeting place is pretty good. After that, it gets a little rough with pot holes. Going to try to visit before June 17th to get a better idea.

Thanks Mike.

Hopefully my dad and I will be able to make it. School gets out a few days earlier but I will try to get there. Looking forward to it already!

Alas I will have you all in my thoughts as I will be netting another fat fish while in Alaska.
Be safe!!!

I did a site visit to Hillockburn/NF 45 today. Did not like what I saw! The first place, (illegal place), is really in bad shape. Really makes shooters look bad.







We need to head up the road to where the blacktop ends to hit some other spots. (Watch that drop off! It's a deep one!)



Be sure to get the stuff along the roadway. Helps the forest service a lot!



It would be great to have a crew make it all the way to the Oz Pit! We'll see how many volunteers we get and if someone can make it up there.



We'll meet down next to the first one. Figure it out from there.

Thanks all,

Bill

Any recommendations as to where to shoot for the After Party? Not being from that area and not spending much time up there, I'm not sure of a place where we can do a group shoot that's not far from the meeting place. After the BBQ & Raffles, I'd like to head up to a close spot and all join in on some fun TS shooting.

Map link is best. Post if you have a place in mind!

Thanks!

Looking forward to this event. I'd encourage all that have been thinking about participating in one of these events but for whatever reason haven't been able to put this on your calendar and make it happen.

What looks like an overwhelming task really gets knocked out in a few hours with enough hands on deck. It's a nice feeling seeing the fruits of your labor. For those like myself that have a day job where the "work" is just saved on a server somewhere it is really nice to see a tangible difference just a few hours of getting your hands dirty can make.

Hope to see you all in the forest on the 17th.

Come meet the cook!

​

(Just don't say anything bad about the cooking or you may be her next target!)

[Member 34319]

I hear her husband is pretty well armed too...

 

[Timbertodd]

I am looking forward to it guys! See you a week from this Saturday.

 

[Cogs]

I hear her husband is pretty well armed too...

Opps! I'm in trouble now!

That's what I get when I have a couple beers and post a pic of a 'Hottie' cookin and shootin! Should have know she'd be somebody's wife!

 

[Cogs]

We have some good stuff planned for this event! Along with the great BBQ lunch and raffle prizes, (which I'll be posting more pics & info of), we'll have a couple of special awards to hand out. You'll want to be there!

Hope you can join us as we would like to have a good representation of gun owners showing our appreciation to the USFS and Dump Stoppers for their continued and dedicated support in improving recreational shooting in Mt Hood.

Will post some more later this weekend.

Comment if you can make it! Thanks,

Bill

Jane and I will be there Bill. Do you have any estimate of how many people will be there? I checked the facebook page and it looked rather bleak. Only four for sure? Or am i missing something? I refuse to sign up for facebook so maybe I did miss something.

You can send a list of what you may need for donation for this event once it gets closer and Jane can talk to her store director about it.

Your right Mike, the Facebook events never really get many 'Going' votes. It is good, however, for notifying the masses and prompting stewardship at shooting sites on public land. Still, we are expecting (hoping) over 20, perhaps 30-40, we never know till it happens! If the numbers are fewer, well then, better odds of winning a cool prize!

I pretty well have most of the food stuff taken care of. Only a few items left on the short list. I'll know more as we get closer (next week). I'll send an email when I know what's left to get.

Thanks for your help, Mike & Jane! You two are great supporters of responsible shooting on public land and your help is very much appreciated!
