I think we all owe Sport Trac/k a great big "attaboy" for driving this issue
home with the appropriate authorities and, unbelievably, actually getting
something done about it! Way to go, Will! I think it's great news. Like
AZCachemeister said, "That's the best of both worlds...the median gets
cleaned up, and WE don't have to do it." We can all feel a little more
pride when we pass that Adopt-a-highway sign.
On a (barely) related note, the AJACS crew has developed a CITO Highway
Median Cleanup Kit that, if used properly, can be as equally effective as a
"contract crew." Just like last year, will be giving one of these kits away
as a prize at the A.J.A.C.S. 2nd Annual Campout Event Cache (Mar. 17. 18 &
19.) You can view the kit on the cache page (GCT6QK) or at this link:

DISCLAIMER: It's a joke, folks. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
I jumped a few levels and spoke with a higher up at ADOT last week regarding

> N. Mesa drive all the way to Shea. They started today. I saw them on the

> median in the first mile. It may take a few weeks but they are working on
> it! Next event we will hopefully see a cleaner median.
