After the
clean-up there will be a picnic at Good Dog's house
- rain or shine. Please bring a change of shoes in case
it's muddy.
1.
First crew back at the starting point will run over to my house to
get the Mt. Dew on ice. There may also be Maine
lobsters.
2. Mrs. Good Dog and I will supply
Hawaiian Brats and hamburg and fixings and all the paper
products.
3. The pop and water will be from
the spring picnic. We'll probably make iced tea and lemonade
also.
4. Someone bring a watermelon or
other cold fruit type desert.
5. BYO beer. You MUST be at least
21 to drink alcohol. I'll check ID's if
necessary.
6. If you want to drop anything
off, I'll send you coords. It's only about two
miles.
7. If there are lots of people
coming, we may car pool from the Legion parking
lot.
Please post the number in your
group so we can get the food order right.
This
will be the 2nd out of 4 clean ups for our 3rd
consecutive year of maintaining this section of
Adopt-A-Highway. We'll start at
10:00am. This
should only take 2 hours or less and afterwards people
can break away, go grab a bite to eat with others
or hunt some local caches.
Here are the
remaining dates (all are Saturdays) for our litter
pick-ups in 2006:
June 10th, August 19th and
October 14th. With the exception of the August event, all
pick ups will start at 10am. We currently plan to start the
August pick up at 8am in hopes of being finished prior to the heat
of the day. Plans, of course, may
change.
Northwest Ohio
Geocachers are the proud maintainers of a 2 mile section
of Adopt-A-Highway in conjunction with the Ohio Department of
Transportation.
Our section is on
US 24 / Anthony Wayne Trail, west of Waterville, and a portion of
our section borders Providence Metropark.
The obligations of
our group are to pick up litter 4 times a year. In return,
ODOT has posted nice free advertising for us on 2 signs, one on
each end of our section.
Coordinates for the
sign at the eastern end of our section:
N 41 25.974 W
083 49.871
Coordinates for the
sign at the western end of our section:
N 41 25.029 W
083 51.446
ODOT has been
notified about our event and they’ll post orange SHOULDER WORK AHEAD signs at the end of each
section. We have the orange safety vests that everyone needs to
wear during cleanup. We are responsible for
picking up litter between the berm of the road and the utility pole
line. Wear some sturdy shoes and bring
gloves in case there are some dangerous items along the way (eg.
broken glass and uhh, containers filled with a certain disgusting liquid)
We need to let you
know that because this is a cache posted on geocaching.com it
follows the same guidelines of liability and by
participating you are agreeing to the disclaimer
that can be found on this and any cache page. You are taking part
on your own and NWOGEO has no insurance in case something happens.
Children are certainly allowed but parents need to use their
discretion concerning how they wish their children to be
involved.
We'll meet at
the American Legion parking lot to organize our
efforts. This parking lot is located at the
coordinates posted at the top of the page. This
lot is close to being the middle of our section so it makes a
pretty good base of operations. If you
can’t or don’t feel like walking and picking up litter, we can use
one or two drivers to help drop off people and
supplies, as well as distribute water or whatever else we
need. If you can’t make it right at 10:00am ,
this will also be a good place for you to come and find someone who
can get you up to speed.
This is a way of
giving back to the community as well as making a good name for our
organization so let’s have lots of people out there, do it quickly
and have fun doing it!
Any questions can
be posted here and someone will answer it. If
you have FRS radios, bring em along,
set them to channel 2. Also,
you may want to bring some DEET as we
have encountered a few ticks in our area.
(Click here for tick and deet information) Sunscreen might be a
good idea too.
Hope to see you there
