Yeah, it'll be great to see you again too! Been a few years1 Looking forward to it!

Send me your phone number again, in a private message or text to my phone 360-713-8304, cause I don't see it in my contacts. Also include your full name, if you would (All I have is Caveman Jim!). Thanks.

We have Les Schwab tires on board with supporting this event! They will accept any discarded tires we find in the Tahuya on the 25th! Nice!

Some gun shops are supporting it too! Donations for the free prizes coming in! Will post about them soon.

This is turning out to be a good time!

I've had great luck with asking Les Schwab Tire Centers to do that. All over WA & OR, not one has turned me down! We don't always find tires, but when we do, it's nice to know we can drop them off.

DNR has reported some break-ins at their dumpster locations where people have started the tire stack on fire! Then they've ransacked the dumpsters and stolen anything of value (mostly metal stuff and wire cables). By getting the tires out of the forest completely, we eliminate the fire problem. Same with the metal... We're having someone load the metal separately and take to a recycle place. They can keep the cash, but it gets it out of the forest.

We usually don't have to worry about the brass. Tweekers already picked it up at night!

Suggestion: Can we maybe get Bill his own TNL subforum akin to the dealer ones? Admittedly a non-profit org isn't the same as a vendor, but having an entire section for cleanups and other volunteer opportunities all in one place might be a little more convenient for those looking for somewhere to lend a hand.

Interesting idea. I usually post all pertaining info in the thread "Info for shooting on Public Land", in the Places To Shoot section. Thought I'd try the 'Other Events' section for a change.

Good idea to boost visibility in another section. :) Someday once I have the Bedridden Old Crab squared away and mobility, I intend to make it to one of these... I somehow doubt 350lb of braying impatient wheelchair-occupant would be exactly conducive to a productive work session.

Operative word is "WANT to come"--the only thing that makes my mother crabbier than me not being immediately ready to cater to her whims on demand is having to get out of bed and into her wheelchair. Dragging her along would not be a happy experience for anyone involved. :( Folks who want to help I'm sure there are ways, but her agenda would pretty much be "get us thrown out."

OTOH, once she's squared away, if I can get my girlfriend on a plane out here... :)

Anyone up for camping Friday night? I got a spot at the horse camp, about 5 minutes north of the meeting site. I need to let the camp host know if anyone else will be camping.

I've got 30 burgers & 30 dogs ready for this event. Complete with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and condiments. Two different salads, watermelon and chips. For the morning meeting, there's coffee, bagels and muffins (someone bring donuts!).

Is anyone going to come help me eat this? :)

Oh, I have water, but no soft drinks yet. Might pick some up in Belfair on the way through Friday.

I take it no one is up for camping Friday night? I have a spot at the horse camp. It's no charge camping and first come, first serve, however, the camp host is holding a spot for me. If anyone else wants to camp, I need to let her know ASAP!

Awesome looking weather in the Tahuya!!!
