Hi everybody!
We're getting geared up for our first Open Carry Adopt A Highway Cleanup and Picnic of the year on July 30th at 10:00am. This will be our third year of giving something back to the community and showing everybody that we are just regular citizens who happen to believe in the RKBA. So far the following people have said that they will participate in the project; I will add your name to the list when you commit to be there:
For you new people, our section of roadway is just south of Dousman, WI on Hyw 67 and runs on both sides of the road from cty C Northward to the first intersection with cty D. We're going to meet at 10:00am on cty D just north of our section. The following map should make it all more clear. Old hands - try to locate your reflective vests from past years and we'll scare up some new ones for the new folks.
If we can get 15-20 volunteers, we can knock this project out in 1-1/2 hours of enjoyable outdoor activity, getting to know other members better, and being ambassadors for the RKBA; then we get to the best part, picnicking! :monkey

[/align]After we meet and get organized into teams, then we'll drive out and park along the road at our respective starting points, gun up, and get to work. We'll work toward the south first on the East side of the road and then north on the West side; that way our sidearms will always be visible to the passing traffic. When you are done with your section on the East side of the road, cross over and work back north to complete the other side. When you're done, you can help any other teams that haven't finished yet.
After the highway pickup is completed, we'll have a picnic at a local park. Details to be posted later. springfield 1911 & I have put the date far enough out so the pickup can be first on your calendar!
Here is what Johnny Stiletto said last year about preparing for the pickup:
Thanks,
Dave

That's about it for now. As the date gets closer, we'll flesh out the details. Let us know if you want to be added to the list of Second Amendment Volunteers/Educators/Picnickers. WisDOT says workers have to be at least 11 years old, so let's put the kids to work, too!Also...
A few things to consider bringing to the clean-up would be:
Gloves (These are a must!
Trash Poker or "Idiot Stick" (Build your own, they come in handy if you don't like constantly bending over)
Water
Pants (Ticks!)
Suntan lotion
Bug Spray
Folding chair (If you plan to stay for the potluck)
Gun (Obviously :quirky)
Be sure to watch the [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Adopt-A-Highway Safety Training Video if you haven't done so already:
