Cleanup~BBQ~Shoot, Mt Hood, 6-17-17, Target Shooting Appreciation Day

[Cogs]

Well it's my first time but I'm going to be there tomorrow!

Great to have you along, Dog! I assure you, you'll have a great time!

But I'll have some backup ear and eye pro
and cigars and espresso

Cigars, espresso and guns. Doesn't get any better than that folks!

 

[FordPrefect]

Sounds like I chose a good first event to go to lol

They are all good. Except when it's cold and raining.

Ahhh but, I paid off the weatherman! Just enough (under the table) to get mostly clear/partly cloudy yet in the 70's!

We're good to go!

 

[Cogs]

I have a feeling we'll be shooting on the BLM land, just up the road. I can't remember where that is but rangerlars will know. I think we'll be sending a crew up to cleanup that area as well.

I took a half day off to finish the shopping. The salads, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes & chips are coming from MikeJ and Wifey (Thank you!).

​

Anyone want to bring some donuts and/or breakfast bagels for the safety meeting?

I would but the only place that has donuts that I could go to in the morning would be Safeway and in my opinion I would not want to inflect those on anybody. I think they make better targets than food. Not that they are hard, just tasteless.

Driving conditions? My suburban is still in the shop, and the ranger pickup would be a tight squeeze. Would a passenger car make it there?

Yes Sir. Pavement right to the meeting site. If you go up the road with a crew, you could ride along in another rig.

Watch for the direction signs starting at Hwy 211 & Hillockburn Rd.

The man has thought of everything. Well played Cogs.

I dunno, but I'll be there, and I can whip up some espressos or cafecitos... I keep those fixin's in my truck at all times

I'll have to see this truck set up with an espresso machine!

Heading out soon. See you all there.

The first photo of a bunch to come. Just got this all stitched together and wanted to get it up.

It was a great day! I had fun meeting new people and learning a new area. And we cleaned up a lot of shotgun shells and wads lol. This was my first and definitely not my last.

 

[FordPrefect]

Here's a nice "top-down" view.


The rest of the photos are some more "pre-clean" shots along with some while the cleaning was going on. When I get the video edited and up on the you-tubes you'll see more.

 

[FordPrefect]

Forgot to add this one. Nastyness of the log being shot up.
