Going to set up camp while everybody is shooting still?Hey, I'm up for that! I love a good camp out? How 'bout in the middle of the shooting lane?
Ehhh, no! But nearby would be nice. It's always easier to get out the night before than early the same morning. If someone is more familiar with the area and knows a good spot, I'd be game.Hey, I'm up for that! I love a good camp out? How 'bout in the middle of the shooting lane?
Thanks for the note. Yeah, I know about your dedication to that place and all the work and effort you put in. Don't think is wasn't appreciated because a lot of people saw what you did and were very impressed! It's just not the same as when Lars was here.The header image is exactly why I haven't been up Wildcat in a very long time. I couldn't keep up and frankly disgusted with the place. I put in several years service only for things to get worse.
People have camped there several times. I've come across folks camping more than once. If the gate at the hiking trails is open, there's a couple other options for dispersed camping, and you might be able to squeeze everyone in at the end of the road. Like I say, it's dispersed, so bring your own everything.
Nearest designated campgrounds, while still going to be a haul, are Oxbow, Camp Creek, and Barton.
Yep, I'm in! I'll try to check that Barton camp ground to see what's available.I'm down to camp, Barton, or dispersed somewhere. @Cogs if you are let me know! I'm a certain go if camping out Friday night. So much easier making that trek the night before than driving all the way over their in the morning.
Sarah is the best. Kind of hoped she would come back and run the Hillsboro store.BTW, @Reno , I met Sarah Ward today. She is now the store manager at Sportsman's in Vancouver (just moved from the Kelso store). She had asked me to help do an employee cleanup, so we organized one and did it today in the Yacolt Burn. She's got some energy! I like how she motivates her employees and how they appreciate her.
We had 18 people show up, half were Sportsman's W Employees. Got two large areas cleaned up (lots of trash at each!). I cooked up a nice cheese burger lunch and they gave away a few Sportsman's prizes. It was a good time!
After we loaded up and left, a couple folks and I when shooting. Some awesome guns! We also taught their kids to shoot for the first time!
It was a good day!
I haven't been able to post about it yet, however, Sportsman's Warehouse, Vancouver, posted lots of pic on their Facebook page and I shared that to the TNL page. I may be able to post up a Blog tomorrow.
But I really enjoyed meeting Sarah. She asked about you and was pleasantly surprised when she heard you had helped to start the Trash No Land organization.

Well, so much for that one!...It may be risky to get the group site as 1st Come, 1st Serve. So, I'm not so sure we should try it there. I'd rather find a dispersed spot near the site if we can.

Near the gravel pit? Looks promising.
