The following message is from project leader Steve Roholt:

Today a group of 15 volunteers participated in FOSM's semi-annual Adopt-a-Highway cleanup. Iā€™m embarrassed about the blurry photo. You get the idea though. We had a great crew today. I was impressed by the level of participation!

The volunteers were Cliff Giles, Mike Madden, Rav Nicholson , Ken Nicholson, Laura Leon, Anne Hickman, Karen Grief, Pauline Ho, Rick Buss, Rich Miller, Scott Dietrich, Jamey Browning, Don Carnicom, Sim Cook and Steve Roholt.

We alternated between picking up and bagging trash, brush cutting and pruning along the guardrail, and clearing the shoulder of loose dirt that may be hazardous for cyclists coming downhill. We started at 0900, and most volunteers left by 1100.

It was a beautiful day out there and the traffic was not too bad. Our previous cleanup from last year was evident, and there was not a lot of trash to collect.
