Irskii- I never made it out to Lytle creek. 2 reasons, 1- it was a good drive from San Dimas and 2- my friends had gone out there and suggested that if I go, I should take a helmet and flack vest. Not a good place to take kids.
I use to go to Fish Canyon gun range but the range officers started to get more like D.I.'s. I guess they had to considering the types of people that would show up out there.
Our friends bought a weekend place north of Palm Springs. So we would go out there for the weekend and do some 4 wheeling and salt the mountains with lead. It was nice to shoot when you are the only ones around.
Now it's no problem, load the ammo in my shed and go out on the back porch and see how it does and NO trash to walk over.

Slob is a state of mind and an attitude. It knows no economic or educational boundary.
I've seen guys that didn't have two pennies to rub together leave a mess of cans and junk at the range and benchrest guys with more money in their guns than I have in a vehicle leave piles of used cleaning patches, targets and trash all over their bench and general area.
Also I have seen good behavior out of every class of shooter. Those who clean up their mess and whatever the last slob left...

There have been times, at our club, that we spent more time cleaning than shooting.

A "public range" in the West is an area set aside in the national forest (not the Wilderness) where you can go shoot. It is free and there are no improvements...Bring your own targets. Bring your own TP and find a tree. No shooting benches unless you bring your own. No snack bars, pack your own lunch. And PICK UP YOUR OWN TRASH FOR GODS SAKE!!!!
