I haven't gotten an answer on all my questions, but I did receive info that No Web Addresses or phone numbers are allowed on the signs.  So I will need different wording.

This morning I saw an Adopt-A-Highway sign for an organization called handsfree.com.  Their corporate logo, which incorporates their URL, was on the sign.  This was Eastbound SR-516 just East of Meeker in Kent.


If we pay the fee and have someone else pick it up we can have the web address on the sign.

Folks it we have a small change in plans for our highway section. It seems that the state double booked the stretch of highway we have. Brown Bear Carwash pays a third party to clean the section of highway we were assigned and has so since 2006. What this means is that we have to be reassigned.
I chose the section that still gives us plenty of exposure but it means moving us a little more into Tacoma. We now have the section on the Northbound side from MP 134.8 to 136.8 which encompasses the Puyallup exit at MP135 and the Port of Tacoma Road at MP 136. They will be moving the sign in the next few days.

had I not brought it to their attention when I was looking for our sign no one would have been the wiser. We signed up for MP 135.5 to 133.5 and since I was looking for the sign at the 139.5 mark all I found was the BB car wash sign.
At least we got a area close to the one we had. It could have been I-5 at MP 90.

We can do this on a Sat or Sun. I'm flexible either day and start time as well. I'd even give up my gun show weekend if enough folks get on board (Nov 1-2).

My apologies for not getting back to this sooner. I need to know how many folks are still on for this Sunday the 9th for a pick up date. I've got all the equipment and paperwork (except gloves). I expect this will be a wet weekend, come prepared.

The state moved our location but I haven't changed our meeting spot as of yet. I need to look at the parking areas near to our start point.

In light of the pending weather forecast for the area. I am going to cancel the litter pick up for Sunday the 14th.  We'll look at a date in January.

Can you sign up for this after the fact? I know all the paperwork is already put in, but I would still like to participate.
