UPPER 435th AVE SHOOTING PIT CLEAN UP SEPT 24TH DARRINGTON. We did a clean up at the 435th Ave pit on August 20th and got 95& of the trash in that pit plus we cleaned up the rest of a illegal dump on the back way into the pit. We did not get to clean on the upper pit. It shouldn't take to long to get that pit cleaned up. We could use four or five guys for the clean up. I will work on what's left in the lower pit before the upper pit clean up. I talked with the DNR District Manager yesterday and set it up with them to shut the pit down during the clean up and the gate will be open for the clean up. I also talked to the company representative that owns the property below the pit along the river about getting the proper paperwork done so we can remove them and get that ugly eyesore removed. I will be borrowing a tandem axle car trailer to haul the cars to a bone yard. I need to find some with a backhoe to pick up the cars and load them on to the trailer.
If you can make to the clean up or have a backhoe avaliable to load the cars please PM me.
I will provide refreshments.

Thank you Bill, it is satisfactory to see the end results. It would be nice to get these cars out of there. The guy from the Merril company told me where there are two more cars. .

The upper pit clean up is next Saturday September 24th. Still looking for a few guys to help out on the clean up. If you can make it please respond here or send me a PM. The DNR will have the gate open by the electric substation for easy access.

It’s good to see that the northern guys are stepping up to the plate. Thanks for your commitments.

I'm looking forward to the clean up here this morning. It will be a nice dry day and comfortable. Thank all of you that can make it out there to help out and to everyone who supported this effort. Without your help this would not be possible. By keeping these pits clean helps out on keeping them open for your shooting recreation. So many places are being locked up because of people leaving trash out there.
I personally have been working on cleaning up this particular pit for years. I always take trash out every time I take my grandson shooting up there See you guys in a couple of hours. Pat

The clean up went smoothly and we did a thorough job on picking the place up. Check thank you for helping out, you sure did a great job on picking up a butt load of the steel rifle and pistol cases. I'll let you know when we go back up there again to have some shooting fun. Probably will be Sunday. I have to change out our bath tub faucet and plastic tub panels on Saturday. The local hardware store has 20& off on the 1st Saturday of the month.
Jim I will see what I have for 357 magnum and let you know what all I have. I bought 1,900 - 357 cases and sold them all.
I did meet a snohomish county sherrif deputy up there this morning and got all the proper paperwork completed so I can get them two cars out of there. I just have to find some one local up there with a backhoe or a log loader to pick them up and set them on a car trailer for me.
I had yesterday, today and tomorrow off so I have been doing some outside work here at the house.
