<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>That’s very bad juju to do
that. ADOT has strict rules that govern the Adopt-A-Highway program,
requiring that volunteers stay >10’ away from the road when picking up
trash (of course you can get a little closer to pile it up), and median cleanup
is expressly forbidden for obvious safety reasons. Sport Trac/k is asking
ADOT to set the hoops up for him, but I envision some strong resistance in
approval. That’s what Arpaio’s chain gangs are for. I’d
really rather not read a news story about how a Geocacher was smeared across a
chunk of asphalt while at a volunteer cleanup event.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Take it for what it’s worth, but with
an attitude that would involve recruiting others with the purpose of violating
a policy put in place for the safety of those who choose to volunteer their
time, is tantamount to blatantly ignoring No Trespassing signs in order to make
the short trip to get a cache, or taking an ATV into a wilderness area.
Of course you aren’t supposed to, and remember that while anyone is out
there cleaning up trash, you are representing Geocachers, as evidenced by the 2
very large signs proclaiming this. I originally signed up for the program
not only to help maintain a degrading section of highway, but also for the PR
it brings Geocaching, hoping that in some small way, it would have an impact on
TPTB in creating favorable policy toward Geocaching as a whole when that time
came. I’d also hate to see one of my former colleagues (aka Highway
Patrol) pulling up and writing citations to cachers for being in the
median. For safety sake, should it be permitted, a cruiser may very well
have to block a lane of traffic to create a buffer for anyone over there once
permitted to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

the policy on safety to seriously reconsider it given the potential
ramifications.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
