Lake Marriottsville?

Pic of AGC as snow is melting. Bring TALL rubber boots! Rain today and tomorrow won't help. And don't slip and fall as I did yesterday.

Thinking my wetsuit may be more appropriate...

I wonder if they'd let me set up a canoe rental booth?

 

[bbrown]

Do the RSOs rent waders?

 

[namrelio]

My place is so muddy right now, it would make AGC look like a desert.

Can't wait for the rain.

It is better than snow and ice.

 

[SWO Daddy]

Make sure your bullets impact behind the lake. Raise that target up a bit.

Associated Mud Clubs is back!
There is a drainage system on the Barnes range that needs maintenance, I wonder if that is in the plans for the maintenance day.

I told the RSO that the drainage ditch seemed to be clogged up, but I don't think that was in his job description, so no action while I was there.

What did you expect the RO to do?

 

[Mooseman]

I would need some one to set targets for me. I don't swim.

How about letting me know that he was going to check it out, and MAYBE have the groundskeeper, or whomever, maybe even put a rake to the clog or something.

It is not as simple as all that. Grading work needs to be done to correct the drainage problem. In order to establish effective drainage that will last, grade elevations will need to be checked and new grades established that will allow the water to flow. There are some other steps that could be taken to correct the problem and they have been discussed with the powers that be. Other than the regrading of the impact area that I did at no cost to the AGC many, many years ago, I know of no other work that has been done to maintain proper drainage since the range was originally built. Just recently, the RO's have been making an effort to keep the area where the target bases are located clear of sediment. Please bear in mind that the RO's are not engineers or heavy equipment operators.

"impact behind the lake" that's funny. Is the camerat looking toward the pistol range?

The pistol range is on the right, on the opposite side of the berm in the above pic.

The work day on the 22 March is planned from 8 to noon. Not a lot of time. Does anyone know the items to be accomplished?

 

[Melnic]

I don't think the RSOs are in charge of the grounds keeping.

So the AGC is a fish and game preserve now eh?

There is supposed to be a sign up link in the upper right corner of the AGC web site. I was told that those who are interested should use the sign up and they will determine how to best use them based on their skills, etc.
With only 4 hours scheduled, I can't imagine any major operations being undertaken.
Work credits are supposed to be given for participants.
