ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY UPDATE

By Ken Seydel

April 5th was a gorgeous spring morning! There had been rain the previous week and everything was green and fresh. We Freeway Warriors get to be off-trail and walk among the wildflowers (and poison oak). We had a small group of Carolyn Dorsch, Billy James, Kathy Korbholz, Susan Russell and Ken Seydel. Fortunately there did not seem to be much trash and we managed to clean our entire adopted section and were finished well before 11:30. Together we collected 20 bags of non-native substances.

We found the usual money ($1) and a hubcap (Plymouth). This time Carolyn picked up a woman’s passport, then a check, and then a purse containing another passport for the woman’s daughter and a camera. It looked like the purse was stolen, and the thief was throwing everything except the cash out the window!

Our next outing after June 7th will be August 2nd. If you would like to join us on that outing please contact me. We will see that you are safety trained and equipped with your very own Picker, hard hat, goggles, gloves, and bright orange vest.
