South site/trash hole is burning. Wonder if they will shut it down.

Was cleaned up nicely for a week then trashed again.

The smoke was really bad at my house over the weekend.

Sadly any public land near major cities typically gets trashed quite fast.

Lot of smoke early yesterday morning in northwest Springs. None today. Looks like it is west of the range.

The photo in this article looks like its right in the middle. Looks to be that first “big” spot.

Based off of my observation of the current lack of respect for all public lands by far too many, I FIFY.

They just put up all that fencing to force shooting to the west. Cannot use the areas to shoot north.
I doubt the area will be closed.
I agree respect for public land is very low.

I hope they dont close it down. If they do I can see all those that used to use the area scatter to surrouding areas and destroy and trash many areas instead of just one.

South site was being cleaned up today by a volunteer group. I can't remember the name of the group. They said it would be open for shooting again tomorrow.

That's great to hear. We should organize clean up's there as well.
