wow, looks cool.
Good work blarby! It does look like a nice place, I love cool (temperature-wise) forest areas.
You may find it worthwhile to erect a sign (if you can), stating who you are (just someone who shoots there), what you have done (cleaned it up) and why (so they don't shut it down, and the reason they would do that) and ask to take more rubbish than you bring in so they can return next time and be able to use it. If by reading the sign someone removes the equivalent in rubbish / time that it took you to make the sign, it would be worthwhile. - I just read about the monitoring for illegal dumping, that would probably be more effective.

I'm guessin' it would just be another target for the dirtballs.:banghead: Littering and dumping trash on public land is already illegal and these dirtballs know it. Part of their thrill besides shootin' holes in it is leavin' it lay. Kinda like a dog markin' his territory.
You've done good Blarby. If everyone that shoots was as responsible as you, there'd be no messes to clean up.

A plastic enveloped (it rains here) paper sign thumbtacked to a tree would serve well. Very cheap and replaceable. Yea, for many, anything is bullet fodder. This thread bears that out. I'd venture that the benefit might outweigh the cost.
Speaking of cost, maybe you should set up a paypal deal, Blarby. Never know.

Well, guess its a little good intention anyway.
As my awesome luck would have it, looks like the wife and I are movin again.
Fed family, transfers a go-go are the way of the world for us.
Not leaving oregon, but a two-hour trek to this shooting spot really isn't in the cards if we end up where we think we are.
At the very least, I certainly left it better than I found it.
Lifes a tricky one like that sometimes, just when you think yer situated....
Thanks everyone for the show of support and the good ideas, maybe someone else will pick up the yoke on this'n.
Maybe it'll push someone to do the same in their own community, without the pressure !
I certainly aim to find spots that need help in my new environs, thats for sure.
