This is the Place ...........

The Official Bee Canyon Clean-Up Thread

We are in need of some Volunteers

With a few rakes and shovels , A little sweat , and a few pick-up trucks ...WE ..... Can make a difference !!!


NEXT EVENT;;; SATURDAY >>> January 15 , 2022 //// 8:00 AM

Multi - Agency Event ..........





Our Bee Canyon threads have been looked at by other Forestry People and they know WE are responsible shooters ,, Safe Law abiding People that Clean up !!!!
I know myself I've seen posts here where someone went shooting and they posted that they " Brought out a few bags of trash

Way to go Guys !!!!
It's making a difference
Between a area that will be shut down OR a shooting area that forestry looks at and "" Hey ,, these guys are making an effort here to keep this place going ""

Bee Canyon has Long been part of Hemet's History
Let's make sure it's in Hemet's future !!!!!

For ALL to enjoy / Like my Grandpa used to take me out there decades ago
Let's have a Clean place for today's parents to take their sons and daughter to enjoy some quality time and learn gun safety




VOLUNTEERS ,,,,,,,,, FRONT AND CENTER !!!!!!

I see your bad back, and raise you a bum knee. Guess that means I'm going to the Ontario show on Sunday.

Plus, I outrank you buddy.

[Eat Dirt]

Hey.. The more people there the better

I've been sending out P M's this morning about this

Let's keep the ball rolling

[AndrewMendez]

Eat Dirt, great idea, I would love to help out at the event. However, I will not be able to make this event. I will be in San Diego for the Build Party! Way to take charge!

[Eat Dirt]

Another member here " Bigred " contacted me with a Great idea::

How about a "" Cal-Guns / Bee Canyon Clean-up T Shirt""

The Cal-Gun Volunteers would all be Looking Sharp !!!!

He has a contact in the Biz.!!!

Only because I had to retire 7yrs. ago. I'd probably be a General by now if I hadn't.

Plus, I have a bad knee too.

I believe the meeting this upcoming Saturday is just a planning meeting (correct me if I'm wrong eat dirt). So if you are bringing buddies to clean up you might want to wait until the actual clean up date is set. I'm sure your buddies are more then welcome to join the meeting though.

[Single Six]

Just found out I have a funeral to go to Sat. Sorry.

Wow ,, I'm sure that's more important

We totally understand when something like that come up

-----------------------------------------------------------

Let's keep this list growing ................

Anyone else interested on showing up on Saturday ???

[Single Six]

I know, it's just frustrating when you organize something like this and lose people.

I was gonna suggest posting notices in your local paper and at the ammo counters/gunshops....since it's easier for locals to come help.

[novabrian]

Is this a clean up only or will shooting be done?

This Saturday at 9 AM is a group Meeting ONLY ...
To throw out some ideas on How to clean -up the canyon


Now if you want to come on by and check it out ...
Then after ....put a few downrange ..... Why not !!

[Ron-Solo]

I think they finally shut down shooting for the remainder of fire season throughout the San Bernardino National Forest.

Call the Idyllwild Station before doing any shooting. It has gotten REALLY DRY up there since last weeks heat wave.

The meeting still set for 9 AM?

[NovaTodd]

Can I get directions? I've never been out that way before. I'm coming from the 60/215 area.
Thanks

Just got my pot brewing. See you there.

[ChuckSteak]

I guess I might as well ask here since we are local.

Does any here have experience assembling AR lowers? I have a stripped lower and a parts kit that is in need of assembly and I don't have the tools or the experience. It's my first AR and I don't want to screw it up by trying to assemble it myself without the hands on know how and the proper tools.

Thanks.

[Eat Dirt]

[ChuckSteak]

Thanks for organizing this Eat Dirt. Let us know exactly needs to be done in the next steps and we can volunteer as needed. I'm ready to go talk to store managers and try to get sponsors but I don't want to do that until we get clearance from the higher up's here at calguns for the non-profit side of things. An official letter head would be great.

If you do any face to face and want someone else to tag along just let me know and I'll try to be there.
