Well, we really adopted three roads. Not actually a highway. They are back roads, but it is roughly 4 miles total. We have been wanting to do something like this for a while. However, we didn't realize how difficult it would be to find time to pick up the trash. We have only managed to pick up trash once since we adopted the highway--which was back in April or May. Hoping to go again this coming weekend! Once we get a certain amount of pick ups, we will get a sign with our names on it, posted at our streets. VERY EXCITING!! Other than the total disgusting stuff that you find on the side of the road, this was really fun! The state provides us with trash bags and neon ponchos so that people can see us from their cars.

| We attached our trailer to our SUV to keep the trash away from the inside of the vehicle. |
 |
| Holding up our sign so we are seen by passers by. However, these roads are not that heavily traveled. |
 |
| Mike had a brain child and had Ryan drive for a little bit on this back road. Ryan loved it. He did pretty well. He drives in our cul-de-sac sometimes. Weird to see!! |
 |
| Emily didn't appreciate Ryan driving. So she walked behind. :) |
Sadly, Loki didn't go with us. We didn't want to have to keep him away from cars, etc. Next time we may have him ride in the back of the SUV. Just so it is a family adventure. We are hoping that we can find enough time to keep this up and do this every quarter or so. If you see the kids, you will have to ask them about the beer containers . . . with nasty beer still in them!! Yuck!
