While shooting skeet in Mendocino NF last weekend, in addition to our own, we picked up a bunch of shells left from shooters before us. It wasn't nearly the amount shown above but it was still very rewarding to leave it better than we found it. Better yet, it was actually a fun side activity to the shooting. Its got me thinking how I can clean up more trashed shooting spots in MNF. This spot was pretty easy but others like at the end of the Gravelly Valley air strip are absolutely atrocious and I can't even believe the forestry department can leave it like that.
