WA OpenCarry Members
OpenCarry.org
Location: (Tacoma / Fife area)
mile post 135.5 to 137.5
North Bound I-5 shoulder from the Puyallup River bridge to the exit at 54th Ave in Fife. We do not clean the center divider.
Date, time & place to meet:
Time: 10 AM
Date: 2nd Sunday of Each Month
Meet At: Large Parking lot just north of 20th Ave & Industrial Drive (see map).
I will have all the forms that are required by the state.
Some folks have been asking about the forms that are needed. One form is just a log sheet of everyone who picks that day and is filled out at each pick. The other form is a one time thing & requires the last four of your SSN ( to separate you from all the John Smiths). It is used in case there is an accident you are covered by the state L&I insurance (full medical). You can download the form and bring it with you or I will have some on hand.

reflective vests - if you have a reflective jacket or a vest of your own you can use it.
orange highway warning road sign
trash bags
pick up sticks / reach extenders (I only have 6 available)

If we have snow on the ground then the event will be canceled and rescheduled. For those wondering if there is snow on the ground check out this link:

So, what would be entailed in doing this? Monetary donations? Time in cleaning up?... and how much of the above?

Participating groups agree to clean up an "adopted" section of highway two to six times a year (depending on the highway and volume of anticipated litter) for at least two years. WSDOT will supply litter bags and safety materials. Typically, the assigned sections include two to four miles of roadside and may be of the participant's choosing or one suggested by the coordinator. Safety of the participants is the primary concern in determining where sections are assigned. Sections are assigned on a first come, first serve basis and waiting lists are maintained for the more popular areas or sections.
After pick up, volunteers send in an activity report describing the hours worked- this secures medical insurance for the volunteers and alerts WSDOT crews that litter bags are ready for collection and disposal. One person is designated as the “crew leader” to contact if the local coordinator has questions. A highway sign recognizing volunteer groups is installed along the adopted section of highway within six to eight weeks after the final agreement is signed.

A couple of us here in Utah tried to contact the Adopt-a-Highway person here to get this going. After several weeks and lots of messages without hearing from her, we gave up. I wish there were an office we could go into or something...

everyone interested will need to download and fill out one of these forms:
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/3763B4F6-E069-45FF-9BDD-33A155632C9F/0/Registration.pdf
At this time I have 8 folks interested. I'd like to get 10 folks signed up before taking this on. I'll go ahead and fill out the necessary forms to request the Fife location and get the ball rolling.
edit:
Expressways/highways have signs with space for up to two lines of text with 20 characters per line. My idea on the sign:
Washington OC Members
www,OpenCarry,org
ideas? comments? rude remarks?

if you put in the dots on this site it adds the http://, so I used commas instead. just think of them as big dots for now....
We have till July 1st to come up with signage info. I sent in the papers today.

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.

| How about NorthWest Citizens Defense League? I would really prefer a Open Carry reference. It seems like VCDL is almost synonymous with OCDO at least in the OC community. I don't know that there would be a connection there outside of that.

PM sent. So what is the name of the adopting organization for the Registration form? I like the NW Citizen Defense League, or some variation thereof. Cascade/Washington/something with fewer characters.
Perhaps 'NW Defense Volunteers'.
