Help clean up shooting area

Dear editor:

I like to use the gravel pit off Bennett Road, which is BLM land, for target shooting.

Lately, it has been the site of lots of dumping: truck tires, a sofa, 6 or more TV sets, etc.

I contacted BLM and proposed a volunteer effort to clean up the area, which they approve of. A date has been set for Saturday, April 27, and I am hoping that there are other sportsmen who will volunteer to help in the clean up.

Republic Services will place a dumpster at the site, but we'll need folks with pick up trucks, rakes, shovels and trash cans for the clean up. Anyone interested can call or text Tom at 284-7995, or Mike at 590-5383.

Thank you,

-- Tom Drake
