Judging by the volume of water down at Canistear and the fact that the gate was closed, it wouldn't surprise me if CR has some more repair to do after Irene.

 

 

The last time it flooded, the water wasn't as bad as this at Canistear so I can imagine there's some fairly soggy ranges right now. Maybe they dodged the bullet.

 

Thanks for the picture. I've wondered how much they were affected by the storm. Anyone else have any info?

I'm sure they are completely f'd.

 

I'm sure major wash out damage along with at least the 200/300 covered roof needing repairs like last time along with all the benches being washed away etc etc.

any clue whether the 50/100 range would be open tomorrow?

Maybe instead of trying to shoot there, you bring some tools and show-up to help with the clean-up? Just call someone first to make sure you can get in......

Call whom?

there is a cherry ridge hot line number, i don't know it off hand, but it is listed on the cherry ridge / anjrpc website.

 

BUT last time they had this happen they didn't want any help due to "insurance" reasons and they hired a company to do most of the work. But it wouldn't hurt to call.

As of right now the range is looking ok. Not sure if it will be open first thing in the am there are some trees and debris that need to be cleaned up. The last major damage was caused by a beaver dam breaking about a mile above the ponds. The surge of water caused the major damage last time. We did not have that but the winds did knock a few things out.

 

We contracted all of the heavy machinery work to a member who gave us a really great price. The board decided based on insurance input that we should not have volunteers help the last time because there was so many dangerous issues to address so we hired and contracted a company that had their own people and machinery. Don't blame the board on that one it was the lawyers!

edit-all that looking just to see the above post. well if anyone else is going i'll be shooting either a AR or remington 700 w a greeen honda civic @ the 50-100 range most likely

Make sure you call first.

A beaver dam? Thats almost funny but for the havoc it caused. At least its good to know its not a site specific issue prone to repitition. Hopefully them beavers got a refresher course in engineering since last time! And Anthony, thanx again for some authoritive CR info.

You are very welcome. Bill Oneil who has been a member for 50 years said that he had never seen such damage before! Hopefully it will be another 50 years. We have now included monitoring the beaver dam to insure it never happens again.

 

On a side note it seems that most if not all membership issues have been resolved. I posted a hotline on the forum as well as many other places and it seems there are no more mix ups or cross ups at the moment.

Reminds me of the South park episode where they ran the boat into the worlds largest beaver dam.

range closed today

Massive tree cutting and clearing. Debris everywhere.

Everything is up and running 100% now.

 

Enjoy

Nice..... if work is closed tomorrow..... I am there...

that's if you can get there. 23 is closed in several areas, so the traffic to get up there will be horrendous.

Troy is north of the problems and should be able to jump across at greenpond, go north to canistear and make it to cherry ridge. Though I don't know what canistear looks like.

23 to 287 is fine. Canistear is fine.

 

North on 287 is a problem, so Green Pond on the way up.

I really wish it didn't get so dark so early, I need to do some serious shooting! Maybe Friday after work before I leave for vacation!

Wait until daylight savings time starts! I hate going into work in the dark and leaving in the dark.

Will the new member orientation still take place this coming Sunday 9/4? I want to sign up with my dad.

 

Thanks Anthony for sorting everything out. I've been lurking here on the board for 6 months or so and been hesitant to join ANJRPC after reading about all the problems, but it seems to me like they've got things sorted out and are moving in the right direction.

Hello, yes this Sunday please arrive early. We have many new upgrades/changes in the range budget.

 

Thank you for your support.

Anyone have any information on the cameras being installed on the ranges?

Cameras? My guess security.

Security and safety. This is part of the new range budget.
