Well I headed up friday with a buddy of mine to camp out and work on Old stage shooting areas saturday. We were met by two other guys, Sam from CO4x4.org and Cody from ar15.com. With the four of us and the two lil ones helping out we got as much done as we had room to haul out. They all said that they never would have imagined how bad it was up there. We were dealing with people shooting across the road as vehicles headed up to eagle rock. People trying to shoot down a tree. And the same idiots shooting DOWN the road :doh:
We raked up a ton of stuff, bagged it and loaded it out. Left piles of stuff left to be bagged and taken out. (we just didnt have the room). We took the fallen trees from being shot down and used them to block off the side people were shooting on that was unltimately shooting at the road. 4 guys a lot of raking and shoveling and we hardly made a dent in the one shooting area. there is likely enough trash to fill several roll off dumpsters up there. But without support from the Forest Service/Ranger District we were limited on resources and people were afraid to participate once they backed out. Hopefully the offorts dont go unnoticed.
