Sounds like fun! I'm interested in checking this out but have never been. Thus this is my public request for a volunteer to meet up with. 


Also can someone PM me the rough location? If its "an hour outside of Everett" I can make it. If its "an hour outside of Spokane", I aint gonna make it.

I might be able to make this.

If someone can send me the location that would be great.  Will be driving from the Yelm area.  

What is the longest range available?

If it hasn't moved, more like an hour from Olympia. Neat location. If I'm not busy, I may try and make it, I need to shoot some of my guns.

I'd be interested in showing up for sure. I'll be coming from Burlington so it's a good 2.5 hours to Chehalis. If anyone would be willing to meet up Saturday at around 10-ish I'd be happy to meet anywhere in the area. I've a few steel targets and such I can bring out as well.

Unless we end up with a hell of a snow storm on Friday night.......Then I'm staying home and drinking Baileys and coffee.

Looking good for me, on my calendar... will be bringing +1 in a reg cab f150, so adding a 3rd guy is probably not wise for that long drive

If I am able to make it..I'll be coming from the Lake Stevens area....[south of you]  could meet up and caravan

This sounds like a boatload of fun.  I wish I could have found out about this earlier so I could plan for it better. (I'm new)
But I will be watching the WA Hometown forum for the next one.

EDIT: Upon reconsideration, I could come out for the day on Saturday.  Anybody 'meeting up' on Saturday (morning)?

LOL, what I meant was that I just recently found out that this event even existed in general.  I've had the RV all tucked away and winterized, so I'm somewhat reluctant to go undo all that in the middle of winter.  That's a Saturday my wife has to work, so I'd have to have the kids with me.  I just think I can plan for it better.... now that I know to watch for such announcements, etc.

Well behaved kids have been welcomed at LCR for years and less well behaved children have been tolerated.

You'll need to keep an eye on any crotch spawn kids.

Start working on getting that RV ready, and make the trip.

You won't regret it.

My trailer is winterized but its going and on the way back I will stop at the rest stop dump the tanks, go home and pump another $5 gallon of rv antifreeze back through the lines
and park it again until needed.
Well worth it for this weekend to me and others that will be there with a rv too.

Very compelling gentlemen.  I already been kinda surveying the wife and she doesn't seem too keen on letting the kids go; the event in general seemed a bit overwhelming to her. (I showed her some of the videos...mostly the ones contained more camping/camaraderie rather than the tannerite explosions and automatic weapons ...but she's still reluctant to let kids go....camping)
But still very compelling  That said, I think I can bring them for several hours because, dammit, I still wanna go! (but it's not full out camping)

But I can tentatively plan for the Spring ("Rain LCR shoot"...I thought I read that somewhere)....especially after I've been there once to get a better feel for what's needed.

Over the last few years tannerite isn't around like it was when it was a new thing so no need to worry about that.
Its more about getting away from the city, some shooting time and education of guns, dirt toys like quads, drones,
food drink and relaxation and the good story's around camp with some great people.

Its still welcome but like I said its been rare the last few years.
The camp is far enough away from the shooting pit that there is nothing to fear

Okay, so to give ample time for a reply, may I ask about location/directions to the LCR gravel pit or rendezvous spot for any Saturday shooters heading that morning?
(or does that info come out at the last minute somehow to keep the location under wraps).

Thank you.

Yeah, that might work.  I'm coming from the Tacoma/Puyallup area, so sounds like I'd be on your way.  Just a suggestion we can can refine if necessary, but what about the meeting near the I-5/SR-512 interchange?...like say the McDonald's parking lot near there (not far off the freeway, can be seen from the freeway, etc.)
But who knows, maybe you'll already have a caravan behind you.  Maybe you'd prefer to meet up further down the road like say in Chehalis/Doty/Raymond area(s).  At any rate, I'm open to your suggestions.
Thanks again!

for me around 9-9:30 am..be aware that the roads are decent gravel but there can be a rough spot or two.

So where is the camping going to be, lower (normal) pit or the one a mile or so up the road?

I think I can do that.  As far as roads, I should be okay; I have a truck (Blue Tundra w/ matching canopy), so....

I just wanted to say thanks for having us out.  My kids and I had a great time.
Thanks Gwitness for reaching out to me.  Also thanks to Jeff and is daughter for their hospitality in preparing french toast for my daughter and me.  (Difficult to reconcile the real names and AR15.com-usernames..... I recall 3 RV's, so one of them must've been Redtazdog?)

Out of curiosity, was the gravel pit that we passed on the way in, (had a bunch of earth-moving equipment and storm pipe parked in it) the original shooting pit?  Seemed like I saw some past videos that looked a lot like that one (topography and access).
Thanks again!  I look forward to the next one!

Shot for a bit on Saturday, took a wrong turn heading out and ended up at Menlo.

I missed the 335 and 735 yard shooting area.  Where was that?

Yuppers. The big pit you saw is actually the second one, but, the place normally associated with LCR. It's changed, dramatically, over the years. I genuinely look forward to the day when it becomes available again. I'm none too charmed with what used to be the original pistol pit, where LCR is held now.
