October, 3, 10, 17, 2009

Members of the Bethany Lutheran College Friends and Nine Mile Creek are invited to the Bren Road Caribou on October 3, 10, 17 for pick-up activity. We will try to get as much done on the 3rd, it will be likely to take more than one try to get it all done.

The Bethany baseball team, all 35 of them, will handle the pick at the Nicollet County site. I will participate and post some pix to this blog.

October 3, 2009 - big day for Adopt-A-Highway in Edina, Hopkins, and Minnetonka

Bethany Lutheran College Friends and Nine Mile Creek CAC volunteers are invited to pick up trash on Saturday, October 3, 2009. As usual, we will meet at the Caribou Coffee Shop at Bren Road and 169 in Edina around 8:30 or 9:00 am.

The DOT asked me to take another section of Hwy 62 (from Gleason Rd to Shady Oak Rd) but I couldn't find any group that wanted to take it. I decided to take it myself. I will post a picture of all of the signs later on when I finish up on some of my vacation travels.


Send an e-mail to me at norman61@me.com I'd like to hear from you.

Arizona will not provide signs for Adopt-A-Highway

ADOT HAS TEMPORARILY STOPPED MANUFACTURING AND INSTALLING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SIGNS FOR NEW ADOPT A HIGHWAY VOLUNTEER GROUPS. THIS IS A COST CUTTING MEASURE AND ADOT APOLOGIZES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.

[Norman's comment: Cheep, cheep, cheep! Another reason to live in Minnesota.]

Adopt-A-Highway

This group picks trash in Minnesota.   Sites are located in Nicollet, Hennepin, Morrison, Crow Wing, and Cass Counties.

Thanks to all who participate.

I found an SUV in 9 Mile Creek today

I discovered that an SUV was in Nine Mile Creek today as I was returning from church. I called the Hopkins police. I told them that I was involved in trash picking along the creek with the Nine Mile Creek CAC but that I didn't have a big enough bag for the SUV.

I did not have my camera along and when I returned an hour later, the vehicle had already been pulled out.

4th and final week of the Spring pick-May 9th

Last weekend Linda and Leslie helped pick and we got a lot done. Thanks for your help!

This weekend will be the final pick for the season. Please come to the Caribou Coffee at 169 and Bren Road around 8:45 AM.
