Alex, that was one great sales pitch to recruit some help with the range clean up. Although I'm way too far South to even use those ranges, I'd still like to help with a couple items.
I'll see if I have a clean plastic bucket or two with bails/handles and may be able to find a couple of 5 gallon clean plastic water containers (drinking water type). If I can actually locate these things, then I'll hopefully remember to bring them along to the Colorado Springs gun show this coming weekend - that is if you are still interested in them. Just let me know.[Beer]
yes blasterbob i would appreciate those items very much .
for those that want to help via donating items , ill edit the list as items are received.
for those of you who still want to help but dont have the time or items to donate . please feel free to send a cash donation to the U.S.O. in the name of "the conscious shooters of Colorado Ar-15 .com" or something like that .

Hopefully once I get my bronco up and running with out it leaking oil all over the place that I can start going places.
I usually can't get off work to go head up to squaw pass- the closest place I live to thus the only one I really go to... I would love to go on a weekend and shoot with some of you guys and clean up and enjoy the outdoors. I'm still looking for people who do reloads that I can unload some brass to, I don't really want reloaded ammo in return, but if you're feeling generous I won't say no. I just want to help out. It's getting a lot better up there, but still some work needs to be done. I'm probably going up next weekend, I'll update which day and what time(s) as we get closer. Any one wanna join? I'm not the best cook, but I'll bring up a dozen or so PB&Js if anyone wants lunch and I have a pretty neat homemade target stand... $2.00 for 12 paper targets at walmart, great deal and I have about 5 packs of those that I'll gladly share.

ah so if you or any members have old brass and steel casings feel free to donate them to be cashed in for money and money into ammo for all coar15 members (who help with this project ) to shoot up and the end of the run . i figure we can do 2 weekend day 1 at squaw 1 at south site , maybe cook out (pot luck ) , informal swap meet , shootin contest (the winner from each site will have to have a shoot off to see who wins)
ill make a recycle thread soon .
as far as targets , i have been collecting clays that are left behind so there is no need to dish out cash
today at left hand was great picked up about 1/3 - 1/2 a pickup truck load of shotgun hulks and about 35 lbs of brass (mostly 22) . yep a member showed up today and was a great big help , thanks ah pook !!
tomorrow squaw pass , hope to see you there

I have room in the blazer if needed.
will be coming down from Northglenn/Thornton
Wish I could make it, but working that day job 9-5, M-F... I usually go up on weekends and make it out with 2 bags of trash and (since I never remember a rake) only a small grocery bag of casings. Just gave two full bags of casings to my neighbor who reloads... I had no idea you can get money for them.

Alex, for your future range clean up details, I have two large plastic buckets (one w/handle and w/o) and two five gallon drinkable water plastic containers loaded in the truck. Now, your job will be to remind me to give them to you at the gun show this weekend in Springs. OK?[Coffee]

not a problem , thank you very much sir [Beer]
What time do you leave the south site on monday
ill be getting there around 730 - 8 ish and leaving 3- 4 ish . south site is pretty clean in most areas but there are those spots . also id like to work on lane construction (raking and moving rocks and logs ect. )
also great news , went to the recycle guy and because of our efforts he will take the shotgun hulks !!! most if not all recycle places will not take them . so id consider this a good thing and an advancement toward this project .
as always hope to see everyone there
just a reminder tomorrow starts week 2 . so come on out and have some fun
I'm booked til the end of the month. Hopefully August will lighten up.
Working to try and be able to meet up with you this Wednesday.
EDIT: At Squaw Pass.
ah pook you have already help a bunch but im not gonna stop you from helping out more
irving it would be good to see you out there and put a name with the face
today is a little sluggish (long weekend at the gun show) so ill be getting there (south site) around 830-9 ish
thanks again to Co-Ar15 and all its members for your continued support with this project and the recycle idea
-alxone
Okay, I just got full time hours at my day job (for a little while at least) and this Wednesday is the last day I'll have off. I plan to meet up with you at Squaw pass on Weds. Is there a specific route that you recommend taking? I've got a 4x4, so route doesn't matter much to me.
if you see the ski resort (echo mtn) then you have missed the turn . the most direct 4x4 path is kinda hidden and easy to miss (shown on map with arrow ) but the trail before that is pretty easy to get up (shown on map with no arrow ) . ill pm you with my number (not that i get any kinda of reception up there ) but you can call really early in the am or tonight
yesterday was kinda of a bust(south site) , pickrd up about 50lbs of brass and steel and a few bags of trash .
today is left hand , still not sure if the road is open but we are still cleaning up !! today's goal
pick up more shotgun hulks and start picking up the blanket of steel . and as usual my lady will be on the hunt for brass , dropped rounds and misfires.
you may wonder why im after the casings first at this site . well there are (were) so many spent casings that it really makes us (shooters look bad ) .
what we see is a bunch of empty casings and the boulder hippys see bullets . ill never understand why the average person cant grasp the idea of spent casings verse whole round . well i guess its not for me to educate them .
anyway hope to see yall there . if you see a dirty jeep (grand cherokee) then im there . should be around 830-900

I have a strong hunch that if Alex sees a jackalope hopping around the range, the clean up will come to a sudden but temporary stop.[ROFL2]

today went well.. not so good . they put up the road block now with signs , blah blah ect . long story short im gonna call and get some permission for tuesdays or switch to another location (yes there are a ton more) .
squaw pass is on for tomorrow for sure ! i hope to be out there early but 10 seems to be a safe bet .
This just came across one of my boards.
http://savelefthandcanyon.org/
Supposedly the Lefthand area was left closed until the fire ban was lifted. The fire ban was lifted on July 8.
All right, I'll see if I can't be at Squaw Pass site around 10ish tomorrow. Silver Isuzu Amigo. I'm not bringing anything to shoot with, just some hands to help clean up with.

Hey i dont know if this would help but i have a "might as well" trash can thats about 30-45ga capacity that i would like to donate to this since i cant help this year due to my accident i cannot lift or drive yet. Its a real nice can on wheels and has a attached lid. If someone can pick it up from me i think it would help out there alot. Its in great condition.

The fam is up, have to get everyone dressed, fed and out of the door.
And we are waiting on Geosweaper
end of week 3 !!
these sites are starting to come around
south site - getting pretty clean .also others are catching on and it shows !!
lefthand - closed , sorry i been slackin ,keep meaning to call about legal access .maybe a LEO forum will help with this
squaw pass - lookin good for sure , but there is still more to be done
so far have no even come close to really breaking even let alone bucks for ammo but im having a great time , sites are getting clean , meeting some really good folk ,and getting in plenty of trigger time .
id like to thank everyone who has showed up so far and also those of you who clean up the mess of other shooters (i assume most if not all of us on CO-AR15 do this).
to those that plan on making it out we look forward to seeing you and welcome the help

he was OK with it for that mag...
then we only went one at a time afterwards.
I think I need to find a P22 for him
The Crickets and Chipmunks are still a tad long for him

too bad you wont be able to make it but hopefully you will be able to make it out to the end get together .also thanks [Tooth]

the can is a nice offer but i think it would be ruined in a week . i have found that regular buckets with handles work best for people ,as they are easy to manage . but it might help to store and sort some shotgun hulks ,that is if you still want to give it . also sorry about not gettin out to you for the brass and (life has been hectic lately) . hope your healing and and can get back to ridin and shootin soon
