I did a rain dance last night and the dog peed on my boots, I reckon more practice is needed
![]() Speaking of artwork, has anyone ginned up any type of artwork for a Glass Factory design on shirts, sweatshirts etc? Since we are stirring up the primitive hunting juices here put some thought into some designs or a concept while we have the time to tinker. Vick

Get this guys, my wife, who I have only taken shooting twice in 29 years of marriage, mentioned that she would be interested in going shooting as she wants to share some more of my interests. Now I really need the Glass Factory to open back up, I don't want to drag her to an indoor range! We are trying for meetings with the Forest Service for our proposed range improvements but it has been slow going to make that happen. We are still on it, have drawn up a proposed plan, now we just need to have a meeting to pitch it.

Dude we just got rain! It will take alot more than this to get it open, patience. I know no one wants to hear but I still firmly believe if we see it open before new years we will be lucky.

Watch the Los Padres National Forest website for alerts regarding closure or opening of the Glass Factory (aka - lifting fire restrictions):
http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/lpnf/home Last fire restriction went into effect in July, and has not yet been lifted, this would include the Glass Factory: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/lpnf/h...telprdb5401877

Nothing official yet. I doubt we'll know anything until at least Monday.
But I'm sure the weather will help. We have more rain in the forecast during the week. I will still be surprised if it opens before 2014.

SoCalMountainMan, who runs the GF Facebook page, receives a text from a ranger friend as soon as the GF is open. Assuming you are on Facebook, like the GF page and you will know before anyone when it opens.

Might be enough... we need like 122x what we got the other week. **** the range - if you live here, you should be concerned about potable water supply *sorry for getting blue, but we're in bad shape here

Per edhat as of today
Fire Restrictions Lowered updated: Dec 11, 2013, 2:43 PM Source: Los Padres National Forest Recent rainfall across Los Padres National Forest has led to rising fuel moisture levels, prompting officials to reduce fire restrictions on the forest effective immediately. Under the reduced fire restrictions, campfires and charcoal barbeques will be allowed in all areas of Los Padres National Forest. A California Campfire Permit, available free of charge on the Forest Internet site, is required to build a campfire outside of a designated Campfire Use Site. A list of Campfire Use Sites and information about how to acquire a campfire permit is available at all Los Padres National Forest offices. Visitors who construct wood or charcoal fires outside of designated Campfire Use Sites also must clear all flammable material for a minimum of ten feet in all directions; have a shovel available for preparing and extinguishing the fire; have a responsible person in attendance at all times; and extinguish the fire with water, using the "drown, stir and feel" method. Prohibitions on smoking and target shooting in Los Padres National Forest are also being lifted. "As we move into the rainy season and reduce fire restrictions, it's important to remember that fire can happen at any time of the year," said Los Padres National Forest Supervisor Peggy Hernandez. "I strongly encourage all visitors to exercise caution while they are enjoying the forest." The following fire restrictions will remain in effect: · Spark arresters are required on all off-highway vehicles, chainsaws, and other internal combustion engines and equipment; · A permit is required for all welding, grinding, cutting, or use of explosives; · Tracer ammunition is prohibited at all times; · Fireworks are prohibited in Los Padres National Forest at all times and in all places. Visitors are encouraged to call the local Ranger Station for more information on conditions and restrictions. So I'm taking it things are open? |

Yup, we are officially open tomorrow! Remember, as a Calgunner, when you shoot up there, please, please, please keep it clean and ask others to as well.
We have range improvements in process and if we are lucky enough to get the Forest Service to approve them, we won't be able to implement them if we have to have another range cleanup in a few months. Frankly, we need your help to keep the GF open and keeping it cleaner is the first step.

Thanks Jesus805. We all need to pitch in and keep this place clean or it will be going away. The Forest Service, Congress Members, County Supervisors will all be watching the Glass Factory very carefully this season. Remember, we removed 41 tons of garbage in January and another 16 tons in May. It's very simple, if we, as a community of shooters, cannot keep the place much cleaner, it will close permanently. There are forces who already want this to happen as we speak, very influential and powerful people who can make it happen. So it is up to us to not only keep doing the range cleanups, but to police the place and strongly encourage others to NOT pollute it, to clean up their mess each and every time or there will be no more public shooting area up there. Hope all of you can help us keep it cleaner.
We are hoping that our proposal to do massive range improvements is approved soon. If we do get approval, prepare to see a huge CGSSA fundraising effort to improve the area to make it cleaner and safer to shoot at. If not, we still need it keep it clean so we will have it as a great place to shoot at for the foreseeable future.

There is the KEEP IT CLEAN OR LOOSE IT FLYER floating around somewhere. I will be up there Sunday morning doing my best to spread the word. Having somethingto pass out would definitely help though.

I was up there this evening. Still seems somewhat clean but I guess it's only been open a few days.
This sign was posted at the gate: ![]() And this is what we packed out, as well as another bag of trash I missed for the pic and a cooler full of brass: ![]() |

Was up there from 10 until 1 today. It was pretty clean still! I saw a big hood and bumper from a truck when I arrived and wasn't sure who had brought it. But to my surprise the person who brought it packed it out! Because they had been on calguns and seen all we are doing to keep this place open. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYONE.
