[Az-Geocaching] Adopt-a-highway

[Brian Casteel]

Unfortunately, it MAY be the dirtiest part of the road because of its 
proximity to the landfill.  However, whenever there has been a cleanup, 
there is a VERY noticeable difference, and the area is clean when we have 
been through with it.  I doubt that it is the dirtiest on a regular basis, 
because in my time traveling the Beeline, I've never seen another group 
cleaning anything.

As for the median, we aren't allowed to cross the highway and pick up 
traffic there (unfortunately).  This is a safety issue and is not allowed 
per ADOT.  There is also a limitation that we can technically pick up trash 
along the highway.  If I'm not mistaken, it's within 10'.  Of course, having 
to get in/out of vehicles, it's easy to 'violate' this rule without even 
really thinking about it.

Sport Trac/K (sp?) adopted the program and had a clean-up a few months ago, 
toward the end of the year I believe.  It's due for another one, but it 
would be great if it could be held on CITO Day.
