That was my original plan anyway, to do a cleanup every 3 months when the program was first initiated. It's been close, with my first being in April 2004, and the second being July 2004, just before I moved to Montana. The consistency has been pretty good though, so I wouldn't have any complaints. The effort put into maintaining this section of highway from what I've seen and been a part of has been outstanding.
