I went to Hanford, class of 1982. I remember when I would take my pellet gun out past Hanford and look for "game". Let's just say one time a "friend" of mine in high school took his sling shot and shot up into the air with a rock and dropped a sea gull into the Columbia. Yikes. What a bad decision. After 10,000 shots into the air something bad is going to happen. Lots of gophers back in the day also.
