I think that with as spread out the active OC'rs are here in California, the best thing is to form community cells where we can organize small local events.
The problem with this is that we're not just spread out, we're still few in number.
I would certainly be willing to make the commitment to adopt a highway, even if it weren't especially nearby. I really think this has the potential to jump-start our growth here in Northern California.
Many of us live in places where we don't feel comfortable and/or can't afford taking the legal liability of daily OC, like here in San Francisco (I simply can't financially afford take the risk of being the person to find out how the SFPD would respond to lawful OC). Thus there isn't any activity in, say, the Bay Area.
I think something positive, well-planned and well-organized, like an adopted highway in a location that has good "publicity" and meets our legal requirements, could be just the thing to spark participation for those of us who have literally nothing else to do but wait for
Nordyke and wishfully the repeal of 626.9.
Or am I just being overly pessimistic about the legal situation in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, etc.?
