Misc Do better people

My fiancée and I headed out to ghost PLUZ to plink around this morning. We spent more time cleaning up other people’s mess. We wound up with a bag of shells/brass, a large bag of garbage, a bag of cans and bunch of cardboard and metal. We would’ve taken more but that’s all that we could fit in the box.

That was 15 years ago and every time I go out shooting my guns I think about it.
