I was out at Boggs Pit yesterday and it is the most trashed I have ever seen it. Even with our crew of about 33 I don't think we can get all the crap picked up and still have time for our bbq and fun shoot. We will do the best we can but will have a finish time established in order to eat and admire each others equipment (that doesn't sound right ). Anything anybody can do to get more volunteers out is appreciated!!
We could use a couple of wheelbarrows as there's lots of large items that will need to be moved about 100- 200 yards for pickup. I will bring mine.
Mother Nature is smiling on us and our effort, 70 degrees and partly cloudy with no rain for Saturday... Come on out and join the fun in the sun....
Let's plan on meeting at 8:30 at Double Eagle in Deer Park and leave for the range at 9:00 sharp! Double Eagle is located in beautiful downtown Deer Park, if driving out 395 take the Deer Park exit next to Parkway Chevrolet. You will see Double Eagle on your right just past the Zips. If driving out Hwy 2, turn left at the traffic light at Riverside highschool onto Deer Park-Milan RD. Continue into Deer Park to the first stop sign, at the NAPA store. Turn left and go about a half mile, Double Eagle will be on your left next to the Zips. I have sent this information to Dan Anderson at DNR and he will meet us at the gate at 9:15.
The good news is Double Eagle shares the parking lot with Zips drive inn. If you aren't aware, the Zips in Deer Park, Chewelah and Colville serve breakfast and it's excellent. Good prices and lots of food! Their handmade breakfast sandwiches make an Egg MacMuffin taste like cardboard...... They open at 7:00 am so if you are looking for breakfast prior that's an option.
Hey SGT folks..... time for another range clean up effort. Dan Anderson of the Washington State DNR is working with us to conduct another SGT/DNR range clean up. Location will be the Deer Park (Boggs Pit) gravel pit which is in dire need of cleaning. Date is Saturday Sept. 24th with the meet time TBD. At this time this post is a call out for volunteers to set this day aside for the effort. For those of you who have not attended a clean up in the past our normal process is:
Meet at an easily found location and caravan out to the range site. After a short safety meeting with DNR we will spend 3-4 hours gathering and bagging trash. Then we will have a bbq lunch and after that a group fun shoot! SGT has completed several of these events in the past and all have been a great success and lots of fun for us. These events are family friendly and spouses and kids are encouraged.
At this time we are only looking for a head count so please reply to this thread if you can make it with an estimated total of people in your group. After the ball gets rolling we will start a volunteer list for food items, bbq's, pop up tents, etc.
These clean-ups are always a good time and you are encouraged to participate. This is a great chance to do some community service, meet fellow SGT'ers and do some shooting.
