Oregon Dump Shoot Sunday March 7, 4 p.m.

[Carlos]

Well, met two new shooters from TheHighRoad today at Johnson Creek Gun Club. Decided we wanted to shoot rifles at the Dump.

So,

SUNDAY MARCH 7 4:00 P.M.

So far, it's me, Zip06, Shooter003, SASS (BrockThornton), and Machinegun Bob.

Highway 224, through Estacada, two miles past the first Bridge you see, The Dump is on the left side of road (approx 12 miles past Estacada).

The more the merrier, as they say. :) Anybody need directions, PM or or email.

Again, a pleasure to meet you, Shooter003 and nice to get a chance to shoot with Brock.

... time to clean the pistols.

[Bang]

If the weather is decent I'll be up.

And when I die let me die
With a dream in my mind
A smile on my face and no trouble behind
And no cross on my grave
To show my restin' place

[Carlos]

Sweet. Looking forward to meeting ya.

We'll be there, even if the weather isn't so nice.

BTT.

[Lars]

I'll head up again when I replace some of the rifles that I had to sell last year.:(

[Carlos]

What, you saying you sold all of em???

:( BTT

[Ukraine Train]

uhh what exactly is the Dump? doesn't exactly sound inviting lol

[Carlos]

It's a rock quarry, made famous by our small Army of shooters. Why did we call it the Dump? Because of all the slobs that leave their stuff behind that we carry out with us.

[Bang]

Sounds like Brown's Camp quarry.

And when I die let me die

[Carlos]

Tell me more, Bang? Never heard of Brown's Camp.

[Bang]

Off Highway 6 at the Washington county line. About 200 yards to the upper back wall. Never know who will show up with what.

Tannerite.

I just have the basic stuff. 20' Bushy, Sar-1. 870. Some other odds and ends. Will bring some Tannerite.

[Lars]

I sold everthing except my 870 and my son's henry. I t was a pretty bad year to try to start my own business.

[itgoesboom]

Wish I could make it this weekend, but will be unavailable for a few weeks. Plus I have to start gathering more ammo before I shoot off what I have.

I.G.B.

[Carlos]

Well, Bang, sounds like fun. Bummer, Lars.

Itgoesboom: I'm getting down there in the ammo dept too.

[Amish]

Can the "Dump" be seen from the freeway? Is it right off 224? Is it before the North Fork Reservoir?

[Bang]

Was at Brown's Camp today. Got to shoot an really old rifle. Single shot 45-110 cal. What a cannon!

Some of my gear.

[Carlos]

Amish.

It's past the reservoir. When you get to the first Bridge on 224 (which will be on the right), clock 2 miles, and look to your left. It's right off the road underneath a Power Line Tower.

Can't miss it

The more the merrier, considering an almost Black Tuesday.

[Carlos]

Bang, I'm looking forward to meeting YOU!!!

I'm bringing an old rifle.

[Carlos]

btt

[tomkatz]

I need to get out that way and shoot with you fellas.....maybe we can put together an oregon-washington shoot this spring at your infamous "dump" :D .........tom

[Carlos]

Sounds like a plan. :D

[Bang]

Looks like a wet Sunday, are you guys still planning on getting together?

Bang

[Carlos]

Yes, definitely. Rain don't stop some of us.

The news I just viewed said very light rain in the morning, and drying up.

Sounds good to me.

See you there, Bang. :)

[Bang]

Yep!

Bang

[Carlos]

Trust me, the weather will be appropriate.

[Carlos]

I packed the mud boots

[Carlos]

Well, lookie here, Sunshine!!!

One soldier has fallen, and will be spending the day in bed. Saturday Night Fever? :rolleyes:

Hope the others make it.

[Bang]

Got my green LaCrosse mudders.

[Carlos]

"Cocked, Locked, and Ready to Rock." Ted Nugent

A couple FalFiles boys will be coming up.

[Bang]

Hey Carlos,

What a great day for blastin'! It was nice meetin' y'all. You'll have to come over to my side of town for a shoot. I'll post directions and GPS data when we pick a date. See if we can't get some ARFer's to show up. When I first got up there I saw those two guys with the old truck and I thought gee I hope that ain't Carlos! :what: I loved your bolt gun, that was a sweet shooter. You'll like Brown's Camp Quarry. Little bit easier to hold a firing line. Don't have to worry as much about who's behind you. Can drive right up to the line. I'll bring my bench and I still have some Tannerite. I think that last one was a dud because it had been hit with some small caliber rounds and put holes in the bottle. I saw in your bio that you're into music. Are you a player? I've been spankin' the plank (guitar) for about 45 years now. Lookin forward to another shoot when we can start a little earlier and go for some little longer shots.

Bang

[Carlos]

Yup, I play like a 6 ft 7 tall black man when it comes to blues

I've been playing many decades have passed, but have bad habits.

ON the other hand, I have a lick or two. I'm basically a fair rhythm player at this point. Would like to take some lessons one day.

I've been so much into guns lately that my guitar skills keep gettin better, with lesser practice, but I'm still missing the Holy Grail.

[Bang]

Blues is where it's at.

[Carlos]

We must play!!!

[BluesBear]

Now I know I MUST head south and visit y'all!

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=819846

And if you ever make it up Seattle way, I host the Charles White Blues Jam in Pioneer Square every Wednesday night.

[Carlos]

those two guys with the old truck and I thought gee I hope that ain't Carlos!

LMAO. When I got up there, I thought they were with you. Ole Cletis there was a piece of work. His friend was at least trying to be nice. I should have let the moron shoot my bolt gun - FR8 - that he called a piece of ????.

Whew, those boys were out there. Shooter003 and I turned and looked at each a few times over their remarks.

LMAO!!!!!

BluesBear, come on down sometime.

Carl

[Bang]

It's been about a year since I hit any jams. About two years since I played for $$$. Do you get to any jams on your side of town?

Bang

[Carlos]

I haven't hit any live music for a while.

I'm a hobbyist only. If you were making $$ for playing, we're in a different league entirely. We'll have to get together though. My playing consists of attempting to keep up with my favorite artists. Haven't jammed with anybody too many hours, usually due to different tastes and skill levels. :(

I'm interested in seeing more local bands this summer. Missing out on a very important part of life. :(

Dang, I'm ready for the next shoot.

[Bang]

Ya I went up to Brown's Camp yesterday for awhile. Took a stack of .22's and my AR. Fun in the sun. I shoot there alot and have the different ranges down pretty good. So I like messin' with the folks that stop in to shoot. I can take my MKII off sand bags and hit the same stuff people are using rifles on. Fun fun fun. I still haven't taken my bench out since I finished working on it yet.

Here are some targets I've made in MS Word format.

[Carlos]

Outstanding. I'm aching for the next shoot.

I'll be at JCGC on Thursday at 7:45 p. 8p and the card lock ceases admitting people. You can shoot til 10p.

[Bang]

Got to work Thursday.:( Looks like rain on Sunday.:( BUT a guy I've played with before has a jam on Sundays at M&M's in Gresham.:) It'd be fun to go down some Sunday and see what he's up to. Need to get my fingers back in shape first! Toughen 'em up a bit.:cool:

Bang

[Carlos]

Yes it would. Need to pick up the guitar as much as I pick up my guns. Callouses are wearing out. :(

Bang, we're going to have to shoot again, minus Dumb and Dumber.

Shooter003 is having computer problems, so he's not responding here, but it was definitely a pleasure to shoot with that gentleman and yourself.

Let's let this thread flow on off into the sunset and die a natural death.

We'll start a new thread next shoot. Bang, feel free to PM me any M-F evening if you're interested in shooting indoors. Bring change for targets. They're dirt cheap and plentiful.

BluesBear, looking forward to meeting you.

[David4516]

Bang,

Those pics you posted aren't from the "dump", are they? I tried to find the "dump" one time and what I found looked totaly different.

Seems like where-ever that is, it's a nice shooting spot. Could I get directions?

[Carlos]

Try the first post of the thread for directions. :rolleyes:

Going to have to get together for another shoot here real soon.

[David4516]

I'm not looking for directions to the dump...

I'm looking for directions to the place in the photo... unless that was the dump...

[Carlos]

Sorry for misunderstanding.

I think you're looking for this place. Need to get out there myself. Looks awesome.

http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=70926

Brief directions are provided, but there are exact GPS coordinates. Need to get out there and shoot with Bang sometime.

[David4516]

Ya, I think thats the place, thanks :)

[IRONFIST]

I stopped by the Dump weekend before last because I had to go to Molalla for business and I hoped there would be some folks there shooting. I was able to squeeze my Suburban around the barricade and drive right up to the line. Even took a digital pic or two. Hopefully I can hook up with ya'll one of these days. See ya...

[Carlos]

Cool. Time to organize another shoot.
