Santa Barbara Glass Factory/East Camino Cielo Clean Up Saturday 7/31/10

Wow, what a nice spot, this is begging for developing a campground etc.

Is this close to the city and 2 legged predators?

I gotta drive down there.

He is actually a member on here... Although I do not know how often he checks his PM, since I have yet to see a response to a PM I sent him a couple weeks ago.

I think that is something I could produce, I have a video production company.

This is a great idea... I love kickstarter... could be a great way to raise awareness/funds.

It is a good 45 min from santa barbara because you have to drive a very windy small road way off in the countryside. There is no camping allowed anywhere around it, and technically I believe you need an adventure pass to park, but I have never seen that enforced at the actual range

Definitely willing to chip in for gas/rental on a tractor of some type. Put me on the list for "remind about cleanup in january time" =D

[Capybara]

You are added to the list SilentPea. Thanks for helping to support this, good shooting spots are too rare in SoCal to just let this one be taken away.

I was thinking the same thing. We should start a new thread if we are going to get this going.

We put that together last year and I rented the tractor. 967-3481 x216 is Larry's number.

We filled two roll offs and had some hotdogs and shot afterwards. It was good times

[gtturborex]

This should be the thread from that cleanup.

When this gets serious there will be a new thread, and a new date?

[RedMonkey]

Hello everyone,

It's cool to see the ongoing interest of getting and keeping the Glass Factory to where it should be. gtturborex and Capybara will be spearheading the cleanup effort. Once we set a date, we will sticky a new thread with all the updates.

Just a thought, but what about trying to get an organization like NSSF to help with funding? I know they are all about preserving land

[tzink]

I'm in, and can probably bring 3-4 buddies. Whoever is organizing the next one (I read on another thread its' going to be in January?), add me to the list.

Might be an idea there, I made up a bunch of their Gunvote T-shirts, the CGN booth Volunteers passed them out at the Gun Show booths. Del Mar, Costa Mesa, Corona and Steyr passed them out at the CRPA booth at the Vacaville show.

Any of the local FFL's members of the NSSF?

That is an excellent idea.

You are added to the list tzink and if you can bring more reinforcements, so much the better. We will start a new thread for the next cleanup, I have not had a meeting yet with gtturborex and Ed but we will soon. I personally am thinking that mid to late January will be a good target date.

The ideal thing could be to do the cleanup on a Saturday, then host a BBQ/shoot for everyone on Sunday? I have not done one of these but I would think it would take us all day to do the cleanup? What do all of you think? That way, those who can only sacrifice one day could help us do the important thing, the cleanup on Saturday and those who can make it back and want to celebrate and have some fun could shoot, eat and have a great time Sunday?

[Capybara]

NSSF is a great idea, I don't know much about them but it sounds as if it could be a win for us and for them. Dakine, could you contact them and finding out how they might like to be involved? If it gets too time consuming or involved for your schedule, you can put myself or gtturborex in touch with them as well?

NSSF, Scouts and Calguns sounds like a great potential team. If we can get that kind of leverage, perhaps a a writeup in the CRPA newsletter, American Rifleman, etc?

Hello everyone,

There's lots of interest and great ideas being generated for the next Glass Factory cleanup so we've created a new thread specifically for it. Please stop posting on this thread and use THIS LINK to the new thread to continue the conversation and to check for updates.
