One little question: Someone told me that you have to pay for the sign which is about $500. Is this true?

I was driving around last week and started to take notice of the Adopt-A-Highway signs, and thought it might be a great benefit to the community (not to mention great PR) if the AZ Geocachers were to perhaps select a highway segment to maintain.  I e-mailed Mark Schalliol with ADOT, and inquired about the program and asked for a list of available highway segments around Phoenix.  He provided me with a list of 6.
 
SR87
Both directions MP181-182 (between Mcdowell and Gilbert)
Both directions MP186-187 (between Gilbert and Shea)
SB MP200.8-202.8 (near Four Peaks)
 
SR347 (Maricopa Rd) Both directions 184.24-185.25
 
SR587 (south of Chandler)
Both directions MP 218.6-221 (Jct 87 to RWCD canal)
Both directions MP 223-225 (Gila River to I-10)
 
The jist of the thing is this:  ADOT would require 4x annually pickup of the area we would be assigned.  I would also consult the powers-that-be and look to get approval for each cleanup as an event cache, which could conclude with a picnic/bbq at a nearby park.  Another stipulation that I feel is critical is that a working group of 6-10 people would be needed for each cleanup.  I'd truly hope I would be able to get at least a half-dozen of you out there to help cleanup.
 
I have all the contact information and would be willing to assume the role of coordinator for the venture.  Let me know by either private mail or listserv what the interest is among the people.
 
BTW, we would get our own sign!  Arizona Geocachers on an Adopt-A-Highway sign would be just too cool.
