By golly we did good! Two real messy sites cleaned up by 20 volunteers! A little burp in the BBQ part but got that resolved. Fun shooting!

Thanks All who came! I was able to get some pics up on the Facebook page and will try to do the website events page tomorrow. Most likely will get to post some here as well. Drone footage will take a while to edit but I'm sure FordPrefect will let us know when it's ready.

Great to see some good 'ol faces! And WenchNguns Jr is a star of social media again! Same with CavemanJim's daughter (hard to keep the guys focused on the cleanup with her around!)!!!

Preview if you are on Facebook... Trash No Land

Since I didn't do a NWFA sign-in sheet, I don't have your user names for Joe to add the Green Volunteer banner. Send him a message to let him know if you attended.

Also, the social media story is below.























GUN ENTHUSIASTS JOIN FORCES IN YACOLT BURN STATE FOREST.

Several different organizations came together today to help make a stand and statement for responsible recreational shooting on public land. Those groups were; Vancouver, WA Open Carry, WaGuns .org, Trash No Land, Yacolt Sportsman's Club, Gun Rights Coalition, Northwest Firearms and WA Dept of Natural Resources.

Twenty good spirited volunteers cleaned up 2 very trashed shooting sites today in Yacolt Burn State Forest. Light drizzle was no match for the determination to do the right thing for recreational shooting. They really spiffed up those sites and made a nice difference! Way to go all!!!

If you wish to partake in recreational shooting on public land, show respect and be responsible for your own trash. You brought it in, now pack it out. Take a few moments to learn the rules and prepare for compliance. Take legal target and shoot safely. Those who don't are breaking the law and severely damaging the reputation of gun owners. Think ahead and do the right thing!

Thank you to WA State Department of Natural Resources for their continuing support of recreational shooting! We hope to make it better for all.

We are Recreational Target Shooters. Join us!

As I am typing this, the video is 10% of the way uploaded. It is going to be at least another two hours before it's uploaded and processed by YouTube. I'll post the link when it's done.

And finally after a couple of browser crashes, here it is in all it's hacked together glory...

If you have a 4k monitor or TV, fire it up in full 4k then!

I keep sayin, everybody that wants to shoot at it can pay me $800 to try to knock it down

Yeah, small rain drops don't show up too well on video. I used to have a pic of it somewhere when there was a movie being filmed in downtown Portland and there were these "Rain for Rent" trucks all over the place. The reason was they needed the 'bigger' drops so that they would show up on camera.

Still thought it was funny that they needed to rent rain in the pacific north-west.
