Thanks for putting this together, Pat!!!

I’ll be there.

Thank you Jim, let me know ow what time you will be up here on Friday and I will meet up with you if it is early enough.
I'd like to clean up where people will be parking.

I could use a couple of guys on late Friday afternoon or early on Saturday to get the parking area cleaned up before the crew shows up and park on thrash.

I have two dump trailers lined up and am debating on getting another dump trailer for this clean up.
If anyone can help out on cleaning up the parking g area please PM me.

See you at the pit. I'll try to bring a friend or two if they're available.

Thanks, Samuelhall.

Entice those friends with a free lunch, free raffle and some shooting afterward! All while helping to save a good place to shoot!

Well folks Ole Caveman had to cancel due to the wife being sick and now I’m sick. It seems that I can’t catch a break.
Y’all need to get out there and pick up my slack and help Patrick out.

Pat, hopefully I can make it next time.

Hope you feel better, Jim.

I’ve got a number of friends sick right now.

I hate being sick when it’s hot…

Thanks Dave, yeah it’s definitely not my favorite time of year to be sick.

The hot weather get to you the older you get for sure.

The clean up went really good. We had about fifteen guys show up for the clean up.
They loaded up 5,360 pounds of trash which is a lot of trash.
We did get the large pit entirely clean. We ran out of time and space on the two dump trailers. So we did not get to clean up the small pit. I will organize a clean up for that pit for a Saturday in September.
It was a hot day and for any one who has been there this pit knows it has no shade unless you go off into the woods.

We had two canopies that were much appreciated.
The DNR opened the gate for us so we could drive the dump trailers in and have a place for the guys to park.
This clean up was the most organized clean up that I have organized.
Bill Cogley from Trash NO Land donated $150 for the BBQ
A fellow gun forum member donated $40 for the clean up.
Arlington Safeway donated $50 for the BBQ.
Tulalip Cabelas donated a nice gun cleaning kit for the raffle.
I sold some brass and used that money and the $40 to buy raffle items.
The DNR picked up the dump fees $292.

I was hoping to of had about 25 guys for the clean up but it didn't happen this time. Maybe in September.

If any is interested in the September clean up send me a PM and I'll keep you posted.
