ADOT would be more than happy if we did. The cool thing is, if Arizona
Geocachers collectively exceed the minimum requirements, and at this
frequency could do 6 cleanups per year, they tend to start giving out public
awards for things like that. It's pretty cool.

Tell me when and I'll be there with my garbage bag and orange vest. I'd love
to do it every 2-3 months as well.
