Well, if we coordinate it with Dave, we could probably make it part of the 2009 Summer Shootout he holds. We could also probably get the journalist that filmed us to come out and either do the story or participate (or both, like last time)... and, of course, having cute girls shoot guns is always a bonus.
And as for making it look really good, that just ain't gunna happen. I'm not sure you realize how immense that area is. Take a look at the pictures and videos of the range I took when out there:

steelcoreap (seen in the photos there and shooting alongside Dave in the news video) laser-rangefinder'd a 3'x3' white piece of
something halfway up that hill from where we were and it came in as 432 yards. That large dark thing halfway between the firing line and the hill in the third picture is an overturned car; a caddy or similar, if I remember correctly.
Also, there's A LOT of broken glass out there with the shotgun shells, brass cases, steel cases, and random junk. I know, I had my camo BDU pants ruined by sitting on some and having a large tear in the backside of them.
edit: typo.
2nd edit: Forgot to mention, at the end of the last day of our 2008 Summer Shootout, we went through the areas we shot and picked up all the brass cases we could find, since Dave and steelcoreap reload and we felt it was the responsible thing to do. We packed out at least 50% more brass than we shot, even though we didn't find all the brass we shot.
