Here are the directions again, provided by Patrick Seeber:

Directions:
From Reno:
Take Hwy 395 or Virginia Street south out of Reno to Carson City. Stay on it even after you hit Carson City. You will see a McDonalds on your right near KMart, then one on the left... You will want to make a left turn on Hwy 50 soon, so don't snooze. Once you are on Hwy 50, stay on it... you will begin going up a hill - that is a clue to watch the right hand side. You should see a sign that says city dump or something that denotes a dump... take the next right hand turn. It's a paved road.. but not for long. You should see a sign on the right side talking about radio controlled flying area... shortly after you will see on the right side a sign for the range. Take the right turn... Now you are on dirt washboard road (last time I was out there it was) Follow this road for less than a mile and you should end up doing a couple of switchbacks down to the range.
Best time at the range is early morning. Very little wind, probably not too many people. Wind will kickup around 10:30 to 11:00 am. Oh, forgot - You do have a choice of ranges - the rifle range previously described or the pistol range which is max 50 yrds. Rifle range is set to hold targets at 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards (pretty sure - it's not marked so I am guessing)
On Hwy 50 there are numerous Arco/quick stop places for snacks and h2o. A Longs is also on the way with middle of the road pricing on ammo and targets (don't forget film and batteries).

This is an ad hoc gathering. I'm trying to organize the information about the gathering, not the gathering itself.
I'm sure you'll want plenty of drinking water, sun-screen, etc. Patrick says that the shooting positions are covered, so it shouldn't be too bad. Since it is fire season, bring a fire extinguisher, if you have one.
Blitzkrieg has volunteered to bring a BBQ. Sounds good to me! If you want to get into the nitty-gritty of who's going to bring the potato salad, I'd suggest sending e-mail to Blitzkrieg, so as to keep this thread open.
