Re: Shooting Spot Trash Cleanup and Shoot - 3/18 - 8:00AM
Thanks for the pictures @delta6...
It was a great day - thanks to the guys who came out, cleaned up, and then had a blast getting a bit of powder therapy. It was great to meet you guys face to face...
Here's what we hauled out... Also - as to the dump fee - I thought I'd share that when I pulled in to the landfill and the guy glanced at the trailer to see what we were dumping (we needed to separate metal from other stuff) and I noted that we were coming from a club cleanup of a desert shooting site - he smiled, said "thank you - no fee - please separate the metal items into the metal bin over there... "

I live nearby and wanted to be in on this, but had friends arriving in town whom I was hosting, so I had to pass. If nothing else, I wanted to see if this was near my own shooting spot in that general area or if it was a different one. The photos seem to confirm you were in the same general area I have been before. Specifically, the one showing the dump in the distance. Were you guys along the canal, or further south?

We'll do another one before it gets too hot.Suck My Glock wrote: ↑March 20th, 2023, 9:52 am I live nearby and wanted to be in on this, but had friends arriving in town whom I was hosting, so I had to pass.

I did not see a canal... we were out to the South West of the Waste Management Deer Valley Landfill (at about 195th Ave and Deer Valley).

Well if you didn't go further than the Ford Proving Grounds, I think I know where you were.BigNate wrote: ↑March 20th, 2023, 3:36 pmWe'll do another one before it gets too hot.Suck My Glock wrote: ↑March 20th, 2023, 9:52 am I live nearby and wanted to be in on this, but had friends arriving in town whom I was hosting, so I had to pass.

Jesus was likely in the group that came in for 25 minutes and took off. Baptizing a new shooter for that nights activities.

"Well if you didn't go further than the Ford Proving Grounds, I think I know where you were"
It's more or less directly south of Ford, probably half way between Ford and Bell rd. South of the power line road. The CAP is several miles North and West. The other canal is by the old police shooting range near the 303.
I also live in the area and if you want to go shooting soon I'm in. I've been out there with delta6 and we are informally planning another day. It would be great for others nearby to join in.

Tell me why I just looked at that area and saw a land mark on my map with a cross...I see the Jesus joke now...
I'm only about 15-20 mins away from there and usually drive 30 to pleasant so I'm definitely down for meeting up sometime. I work Saturdays so I couldn't attend, but usually off Wednesdays and Sundays.
