At our last NWI INGO MEET & SHOOT near the end of the event a few of us got together to talk about the possibilty of bring appleseed to NWI. The biggest hurdle is finding a place to host it.
The DNR ranges (public ranges) are a no go for the event. So that leaves us with finding either a private range or a land that could be used as a "range" for the event.
Being a "city boy" once I get passed US-30 SOUTH I'm "lost" in terms of what is out that way. Plus once I pass South Lake Mall that too is the "farmland" per say. I know there is probably nothing in the NORT EAST portion of lake county (East Chicago, Hammond, Gary) area that we could use for this. There are a few places that come to mind but I seriously doubt we coud use them.
[Yes some of these are crazy ideas and I'm looking at just a place where it could be held not thinking of all the red tape right now]
- Old griffith golf course on Cline Ave
- Wolff Lake area (shooting towards the lake)
- Gary area near the airport has lots of "open land"
In any case the areas that I am familar are well populated. Thus I'm hoping to get some ideas of where there is land for such an event. I'm willing to go an investigate, do the leg work to bring it here but need some starting points in terms of land/space.
So anyone got any ideas?
