DMC - AdoptAHighway - Payson Spring Cleanup 09 - Sun Apr 26

Postby danjmcs » Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:21 pm

It's that time again, starting our second year with the Adopt-A-Highway Cleanup to the DMCs Mile Marker up on AZ-87, North of Payson!

Thanks again to Suzanne for putting in the work to get our sign in place last year and handling the safety class requirement and organization with ADOT!
She did a lot of work on the two events last year to make sure things ran great.

I would suggest you wear boots or some type of high sneaker, long sleeve shirt or jacket, maybe a hat, since it WILL be cool up there in the morning, but should warm up a bit later in the day. We will provide bottled water, so you may want to bring something other than that if you want it. ADOT is providing the safety vests, tools, bags, etc.

I will try to reserve my companies Dodge Durango, so that we can more easily shuttle people to the work positions, this worked real well for the Fall event in October 2008 in getting us started and finished up a bit quicker and safer.

Those coming from the Phoenix area, we will meet at 8AM at the Baja Gas Station on the SouthEast corner of Ft. McDowell Road and the AZ-87. Departure time, 8:15AM Sharp, so please be gassed up and ready to go. As was mentioned in the thread for the Spring event, you should probaby gas up somewhere else before meeting up, as Bajas prices tend to be on the high-end, this just made a good central meeting point.

Baja Gas Station
10180 N Fort Mcdowell Rd
Fort Mcdowell, AZ
(480) 837-3506

Please check the freeway closures to make sure they don't impact you making it to the meet-up location on time.

It's approximately 70 miles from the Baja to Payson, where we'll stop on the North side of town for a bathroom break at the Maverik location below.

Maverik Country Store & Gas
715 N Beeline Hwy, Payson, AZ

After a quick stop and break, we will head north out of Payson, approximately 30 miles and proceed past our mile marker and will be parking at the Long Valley Cafe, which is right on AZ-87 at mile marker 290, approximately a mile north of where our mile marker is.

We should arrive at the Cafe at approximately 10:15, so those coming from Flagstaff or areas North, should meet us here if they aren't meeting us in Payson. Suzanne has some safety items she has to go over with everyone, and then we want to carpool back to our work area and be working by 10:30.

We expect to be completed in less than 2 hours, hopefully by noon, when we'll then return to the Cafe for lunch.

After lunch we'll head back down the hill and stop in Pine for some dessert!

Please RSVP by replying here in this thread or send me an email at dan@coopahs.com ASAP so we can get an accurate count, thanks!

We will be attending this! Also, we might bring a fellow MINI friend. They just bought a Pepper White Clubman... They are anxious to go on a run with everyone!) :D Dee, if you're coming to this event, I would like to purchase a Cooper Card. :wink:
