shooting spot off of Sunset in Banning / Blocked With Big Rocks

[micks75scamp]

Does anyone on here go there? im considering doing somewhat of a "clean up" there Its pretty bad ill take pictures tonight. I go there quite often and wouldnt mind it being cleaned up a little bit. I could meet with people after work and we could work just a few hours a day or something. I have a truck, trailer shovel and whatnot. I plan on doing a Dump trip this weekend as it is.

I'm up there every once in a while to shoot & collect brass. Haven't been up there since some yahoos started the fire at the rock quarry area.

Where did you here that from?
I was there last week. People tell me it is totally legal up there to shoot. That was the first time I had been there. We went way back there. Looks like a lot of people have been shooting up there. Makes me mad they just leave all there crap after shooting it up. Take out what you bring in.

Hello all,

I am new to this site and I joined so that I could get involved in these type of cleanups. I really think this is a great way to give back to the community and keep the outdoor shooting spots open.
Anyone plan on cleaning up this site? Also, any other places closer to the Colton area? I am planning on going out to the Perris spot this weekend to shoot and clean up but I would love to find something closer to home!

thanks!

^rockstar! people are lazy, I appreciate you doing what you're doing!

[edwardfa]

I would like to help. Can someone pm or post directions so I could determine if I could make the drive up there.

You must be referring to the "Old Idylwild Road", boy that takes me waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back!

Not sure how to reach from Sunset anymore, it's been nigh on 30 years since I've been out there and I live a loooong way away from there now. I used to go up from San Gorgonio and branch to the right instead of going up 243.

I see it on google maps.

I see it on google maps.

I can see the route you are talking about as well. Do you remember about how far down you go after the turnoff for 243? I suppose I could just drive down there and look for empty shells

I was out there this past weekend with my wife. I took a rake and trash bags because i've noticed a lot of trash is being left behind. I like shooting there because its close to home but its a bummer to see the mess that people leave behind. I only picked up some of it as i would have need to take nothing else in my truck to clean up the mess. Particle board/wood, soda cups, ammo boxes and part of a baby chair? I tried to focus on the trash i was able to rake up ( http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/...a/IMG_0487.jpg ) and put in a bag. I filled a bag and a half with this stuff. I go almost every weekend so next time i'll try to take out some of the wood that is left behind. I know the thought might be to leave the wood for the next guy to use but when its sitting on public land it looks more like it was just dumped there. Bummer to see this and to think that i'm associated with shooters like that.

Thank you very much for that, i will be happy to give you a hand and maybe even make a difference. Im afraid with all of the fires up there lately they may try to shut her down if we cant get it cleaned up. PM me and we can set up a time on the weekend to head up there and do some cleaning, ill be happy to bring a truck and maybe even a trailer.

Banta134,
I live in Yucaipa and would love to find a nearby place where my wife and I can shoot. Where is this place? Is it on Sunset or old Idylwild road?
I've always practiced the old Boy Scout rule of leaving a site cleaner than when you found it.

[cabrera303]

Never been there but I'd join pm me directions and a date.

Well apparently they closed down the road to this spot so much for the clean up
