I've had a couple people ask me so......
According to the river forecast:
The road into Wheatland should be open late Monday or Tuesday.

Please call 503-393-1172, ext. 40, to attain info re: main entrance opening. It's sometimes closed due to high H2O. Alternatively, you may park by the Wheatland Ferry crossing and hike into the course.

With winter setting in, some course maintance will be slowed by the weather.
But I'd like to take this time to ask those that have played at Wheatland DGC:
What would you like to see added to the course and/or have us focus our attention on?
Here's your chance to voice your thoughts/ideas. Thanks
Camp host is not an issue in the winter, none there and the Rangers set up netting to protect the site
A little more clean up around baskets. A lot of the things will be taken care of in time with people getting out there and beating down the undergrowth. It is a really great course guys. Thinking I may hike in on Sunday. Where would I enter from?

May be problems getting into course this weekend and at least first of next week. According to Mike Wilson 12' level will generally close access road. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=pqr&gage=slmo3
As of 8am this morning it is at 11.16 feet. So itll be a close call.

Today's activities at Wheatland course was install the kiosk. It got accomplished and will eventually have a course layout sign and other things on it. Good job again PacWest and their friends. Here are the photo's I shot while out there today.

Thanks for the pics Steve. Yeah we had a slow start with a setback using the auger. But we got the job finished and Friday we will remove the supports and start getting course map and other info. posted on it ASAP. I really want to say thanks to David, Tim, Jason, Andrew, Paul, and Steve.
And of course the State Rangers. Bryan, Jeremy, Carlie, and park host Terry.

Ok so I'm calling anyone that can help us out Wednesday afternoon at 2:30/2:45!!!!!!
We are going to need some help installing the kiosk!! It's not a weight issue its more of a safety and balancing act that we could use help with.
So if you could please come help us out Weds. afternoon that would be great!! Meet us at tee pad #1.
Anybody got a small crane or pickup with tow lift in back of it. Guess it's people power to the rescue. Are holes already dug or have pole hole digger to do that?

Kiosk has arrived and should be installed by weeks end! Pictures to follow.

Was able to get out to Wheatland DGC this morning to get some stuff done. Since we finally got our hands on some bark chips, the tee pads on 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 16, & 17 are finally back filled!! There's more out there too and when I can get the tractor scheduled out again I'll start covering some of the walk out trails.
Great job Mike. keep in touch if extra body would be useful, happy to help out.

Just a reminder that this Sat. Oct. 12th there is a very large X-Country Meet at Willamette Mission. I would stay away and play elsewhere as they will be running thru areas of the course.

Got some more work done tonight. Cleaned up behind 8's basket, on the left side of 15's basket, went around & double checked everything I did yesterday, plus some exploratory work. I think the course looks to be in real good shape. So get out there this weekend and play a round!!!
I'd be happy to do just that. Maybe get some work in at Wheatland with ya?
MY "DISC GOLF OR DIE" PERSONALY DYED FIREBIRD? CLEAR DISC WITH BLACK DYE... PROBLY HAS NO NAME OR NUMBER ON IT, HAD IT FOR AWHILE REALY LIKE TO GET IT BACK FROM WDGC...

Did some tractor work tonight and pushed into the blackberries on holes 1-7 & 16. Found & returned 2 discs. Always trying to help get discs back to the rightful owners. I'm going back out Thursday night too.
Also a heads up: Starting November 1st W.M.S.P. will go to their winter hours 7AM to 5PM
Don't think I had my name/number on it yet. It's a green & white Vibram Lace. Tried to curl it around the right side of the tree on the 15th fairway, and it went 100 ft. forward instead of to the right. So it's buried in shoulder-high blackberries probably 50 feet past the foot ... more

The Rangers asked me to forward this:
If you are planning on having a large group or holding a tourney at WMSP please contact the Rangers. They want to work with DG'ers to make sure that everyone can enjoy the course. Just be up front with them on your plan/idea. They WILL work with you.
Mike Wilson September 20, 2014 at 5:41am
Next Thursday the 26th our kiosk arrives and we are working on scheduling a date for it to be installed.
Also got all the excess concrete around the tee pads cleaned up. And as soon as we get some dirt/bark chips I'll begin backfilling them.
give me a hollor when dirt/bark chips arrive if you want some help with them. Keep up the good work you do for all.
Heard rumor plans on putting kiosk in tomorrow Monday. Would be happy to assist but already plans for going up to Champoeg course to get measurements taken now all the alt locations dug. Sounds like Monday is a good day for disc golf courses in the area to get closer to completion of the extra goodies.
Mike Wilson September 20, 2014 at 5:37am
Mark your calendars!
Wednesday Sept. 25th- there will be a cross country meet out at Willamette Mission and they will have part of the course closed. Please plan accordingly.
Saturday October 11th- there will be a huge district cross country meet AND the course will be closed.

A unique MVP Volt was turned into me by a fellow DG'er, no name or number. Describe it and I'll make sure it finds it's way back to you.
Not looking like I'll make it out for Tuesday 2's. I'll drop it off at Tiger Discs.
Grape Ape September 5, 2014 at 10:46pm
Worked on hole 17, cleared some brush on the left side of the tee pad to open up the roller better off the tee.
Jason "Rooster" Bruster September 3, 2014 at 6:37am
Blackberries and poison oak were sprayed on H4,H5,H6,H7.. Don't eat the berries on those holes. Goodbye cockroach weeds!
You guys rock for all your time and hard work at Wheatland DGC. Thanks for all that you and your fellow workers are doing here!!
