North Fork Wolf Creek Recreational Shooting Lanes

Dang! It's still there? Wonder how damaged it is. I wonder if it was the wind or a person. ODF built that sign and it's a nice one.

I'll be there tomorrow morning to save it and we'll see what needs to be done to get it fixed.

Thanks for that report, Wildbill!

It's the sign that's at HWY 26 right as you turn in on your right. I didn't stop to take a good look sorry I was really trying to get in and out yesterday. But the board was laying there and the post were snapped or something. And they are thick! So you would think someone would have to hit it with a car or really go out of their way. I mean because it's right there on 26 so everyone can see what's going on.

Yeah wind wouldn't take down this sign I think. It's that beefy one at the HWY

Oh GOOD! Gee, I'm not going to make it tomorrow!

But I'll contact ODF about it.

I took a photo of that sign, back in 2017.

Yup that big sucker at the gate. It's got flyers all over it. It looked like someone took an axe to it or hit it with a car? but I didn't stop. I was to excited to test my new builds and sight in what I could. Was hard with the mud and rain. I got soaked!

Well thanks for reporting that! I sent a message to Joe Offer (Rec Mngr for ODF). They'll probably get it by Tuesday, but sometimes he responds on a weekend.

Yeah, that clay mud is miserable at lane 1 & 4. We really need to lay some gravel down!

Yeah the mud was so bad! And there was milk puddles in it too. It's not bad as long as you don't go past the barriers. The road is in good condition IMO. But man I was really hoping we would have a longer range by now. I don't know where to go. I haven't explored the area and I'm from SLC originally so still learning here. But I don't want to go onto the wrong property. I mean I don't leave anything especially if alone out somewhere. But I really need something that's 300 yards or more. And I really don't want to pay a bunch to theses gun rang places that are just as far as this location. If anyone reading this has some insight and would share it in a direct message with me. I take care of places just don't know anyone or have friends after moving up here.

Works for me!

Okay. I'll run with this. Will place the order tomorrow morning Thursday.

I bought the steel posts and mounting bolts, so we're ready to pound them in next week. In fact, I renew my CCP next Thursday in Hillsboro, so I should be able to do it then.

Some very sketchy crap going on today passed the lanes.

We were driving out off Nofo Rd and there was a big white van parked along side the road and two people, wearing what looked to be black garbage bag rain gear, took off running lickity split away from the van and both literally dove off the side of the road. As we passed the van there were a number of bundles of some sort of plant material very neatly tied up and in a nice stack. I have no clue what it was, but I know it was not Mary Jane. Super weird!

 

[Rem700..300]

It was most likely Salal. They harvest it for florest. You are suppose to have a permit but most likely didnt. We see it a lot down here in the coast range.

Salal maybe ?

Salal maybe ?

It was broad leafed so maybe.

Walking lanes would be amazeballs! Get's slippery as *stuff* up there. Taken a couple sliding headers there at the top spot, lol.

The signs be printed! I'll see about trying to get out Sat or Sun to put them in. Not sure if I can bend my schedule for the weekend or not. Might have to wait till next Thursday.

I ordered 10. (Not sure why, as I was thinking only 8). But that gives us some replacements on hand if (when) we need them.

They look great !
With just a small change, they could be used for other shooting areas.

Busy up there today! Light rain and a break in the clouds for a few rays to shine through. Light dusting of snow on the nearby hills.

All 4 lanes are now sporting the new signs. Everyone there was more than happy to allow me to install them. Each lane had good folks and all were using legal targets.

Here's what it looks like...

Thanks Bill, they look great! Even better in the snow lol.

Beautiful day in the Wood today.

Oh the lanes look so clean!!! I love it when it snows!

Glad you had a good time and glad the signs are still there. I like shooting in the snow. It's fun!

Man maybe I should go because it should be slow. And before it turns back to a mud pit.

Just remember to take a pic of the icicles hanging off your AR due to the ice storm tomorrow. It'll be cool, they said.
