The Ranger I spoke with sounded very impressed that we gave him a call Monday and admitted to shooting the sign. He knows that the majority of us are very responsible, and that calgunners in general have a high respect for the area. I think volunteering for periodic cleanups down there is a great idea, even if we haven't had a big shoot in recent weeks. maybe we should do a quarterly clean up (once every 3 months or so) and volunteer to help them cleanup whatever they want us to work on. That would help solidify our relationship with them. I might call back the ranger today to fill him in on details, as when i spoke to him last night I was confused about which sign got shot and directed him to the wrong one.

We didn't have much trash other than spent cases, which we picked up to the best of our ability, and our wooden stands were donated to the people with the fires who gladly took it. Good job to the guys who cleaned up, very respectful of you.
I am the guy with the green tipped bowling pins( qty. 5) etc. I took mine home with me. Those other ones are not mine. I loaded up "5" 40 gallon trash bags and a almost full 5 gallon bucket on shells/brass before leaving. My van was packed full. I had a hard time finding room at home to store the trash I collected. I picked all my stuff( green bowling pins etc. ) and came home with more than i came with. When somebody(not me) blows up a phone book, well you get a huge mess.I shoot in that area all the time. I am willing to help clean up whenever. i live in Patterson and can be there in 1 hour. If a sign needs replaced, I can do it if somebody mails it to me and tells me where the damaged sign/signs are. Had a great time. We need to keep it clean, so we can do it again. Man that was fun.

Not pointing fingers at anyone. By being a Calgunner I am just as responsible for that mess than the person who made it. That is why we walked around to clean that place up.

When somebody say I cleaned MY STUFF, thats great. But like all things it's the 1% that screws it up for the other 99% who police their own stuff.

My group picked up random trash we found in the target area when we left, we ended up with 3 contractor size garbage bags of trash, I believe. Some of the stuff I was picking up couldn't even be identified, lol.

Your right, its a team effort to clean up. I was tried and just picked up whatever looked destroyed, and there was allot of that. But that phone book/ books made a big mess.

being it was the first zombie shoot, some things were not planned for. Im sure the next time we will setup a day time cleanup and we wont be letting anyone blow up any phone books.
