+IV_Warrior Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 I was in the McConnellsburg PA area last week and saw a road just begging a group of geocachers to 'adopt' it. Yes folks, go check your maps, CITO Rd exists in Pennsylvania. Any locals interested? Nothing to see here, move along. Quote

+StormShadow Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Been through there once when I had to file some paperwork at the courthouse....got a kick out of Rotz Meats...quite a name for a butcher. Quote
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 I'm adopting a chunk of highway NE of Phoenix for Arizona Geocachers. The idea was VERY well received when I proposed it on our local listserv. Brian Team A.I. Quote
+MissJenn Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 IV, did y'all decide against this idea? Just wondering .... Quote
+MissJenn Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 a link for Pennsylvania residents DEP Quote
+IV_Warrior Posted February 14, 2004 Author Posted February 14, 2004 I actually don't live very close to there, and don't even remember why I was there, work I think. Saw the road and posted the thread, hoping someone who does live close would seize the opportunity. I haven't heard anything from anyone, so I'm guessing it didn't happen. Although, if someone did decided to go with the idea, and my schedule allowed, I'd show up to lend a hand sometime. Quote

+Brian - Team A.I. Posted February 28, 2004 Posted February 28, 2004 I've been working on the program stuff since the middle of last year. I finally took the dive and applied for the permit in September, and was approved in December. Apparently, there was another group interested in the same segment I was looking at, and had to wait until they decided whether or not they were going to take it. It took just about another 6 weeks from permit approval to sign installation. I must say, from seeing so many of the other signs out there, unless it was a corporate sponsor that paid for their actual logo to appear on the signs, there isn't one out there (in Arizona) with larger type than ours.

+Brian - Team A.I. Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 So, has it been determined which was the first Adopt-a-Highway for a Geocaching group? Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 It has been a long while since I posted in here but here is the other Adopt a Highway on Highway 86 in front of my house and the road leading to it. We have 3 clean-ups a year still. Sometimes it is just me but I get it done. Now I have the GEO*Girls to help as well. Quote
+MissJenn Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I started a BookMark List: "Adopt-A-Highway (or similar)" It's to be an international collection of current and archived Adopt-A-Highway (or similar) CITO events or geocaches. Some places have an Adopt-A-Park program, or an Adopt-A-River, for example. Please let MissJenn know if you know of a listing that should be added to this list. Quote

+ShadowAce Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 As of March 2006, Southern Arizona Geocachers have adopted a wash in Tucson AZ to claim a spot on the map. So far cleanups are running every two months with cachers driving hundreds of miles to join in on the fun and spirit. If your ever in the area, come on in and join. We have even had people from as far away as Germany show up to get dirty. First Alamo Cito Second Alamo wash Cito Third Alamo Wash Cito Fourth Alamo Wash Cito Adoption papers are completed. Fifth Alamo wash Cito One of our two signs. Cachers, trashers and TB's. Sixth Alamo wash Cito Quote
+MissJenn Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I hope I don't get any doubles in this.... I think I got them all. I am not looking for just CITO events, though. Quote

+Demon360 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) We just had our first CITO event for our Adopt-A-Highway program Here's a pic of the sign. Thanx to Brown Bear for getting this together. We're required to do 4 trash pickups a year. The first one was this past Saturday and we collected 27 bags of trash. Here is the cache page for the first cleanup event. Our section of road is between the 2 green arrows on this map. BTW, this is in York, PA Edited February 5, 2007 by Demon360 Quote
+Demon360 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 I've been trying to find some kind of list or even a map showing the participants in the PA Adopt-a-Highway program, but I don't seem to be able to find one anywhere. Does anyone happen to know if such a thing exists? If not, I think it's pretty poor of the state that the only recognition all these groups get is a pair of signs 2 miles apart only on the stretch of highway that they take care of. Mark Quote
+Touchstone Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 The bumpasaurus was here I'll add our little bit of clean up effort here as well: And the cache listing that goes with it (although the two are not all that close together): CCGC-MBCBP Adopt-a-Trail I haven't actually held a CITO Event on our little section of trail yet like some folks have done, but it's on the short list of things to do Quote
+bluecherry Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Well we did not adopt a highway but we did adopt a park here in Fayetteville, NC. We even had a coin made to commerate the event. Quote
+SKILLET Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 This is the 3rd year we have done this. We do it in the spring and the fall of each year. It's in the desert and that's when the weather is the best. First year we got 98 pages of trash. Each year since that number has gone down ,last time we had about 48 bags. . Quote
+BlueDeuce Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 At what age do you tell a highway it's been adopted? Quote
+DENelson83 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Mid-Island Geocachers has adopted the stretch of British Columbia Highway 19A between Royston and Courtenay. Quote
+Touchstone Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Forgot to mention this one up in the Bay area, California: Quote
+MissJenn Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Glad the bumpasuarus came back around again. Quote
+Team Dromomania Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 SmokeysRedheadHelper has adopted part of Hwy 20 around Clear Lake between Glenhaven and Clearlake Oaks in Lake County, Califorina. Quote
+IthacaDoodle Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) I just love seeing the variety of these Adopt-a-Highway signs affiliated with geocachers! We drove by one, Bugmann's Mile, by chance while in Arizona Bugmann's Mile and it inspired us to adopt a segment of road here at home. We now have adopted a 2.1 mile section of rural highway here in Ithaca, NY EH GEO-LANDMARK and have recently completed our first CITO event for it: Ithaca Adopt-a-Highway Fall CITO Event Edited November 10, 2008 by ithacadoodle Quote
