Ok here is a update on the Sponsor a Highway program. I called the DOT yesterday the guy i needed to talk to was out of the office. He just called me like 15 mins ago. We talked and he is sending out the application and the book for me to read. It's a two year deal meaning we have that part of the road for two years at a time. When the times up we can resign up for it again for another two years. It's four times a year, "April, June, August and October" It's two miles ( It's really four milesas it's two miles one way and then two miles the other way). The State DOT department gives us all the bags/vests and road signs saying "litter pickup ahead" we pick it up and then leave the bags on the side of the road and they pick them up in the state trucks. Now we pick the day in the months we want to do it as well as the time. They have two sponsor programs they have "Limited Access highways" thats interstates, turnpickes and so on on. With that kind you have to pay a subcontracter to go out the pick up the trash for you as the state does not want groups of people/a person on the side of the interstate for safty reasons. Then they have "Secondary highways" thats state highways and this one is free because they let you do it your self. As it's just me and i do not have the money ( or any money for that matter LOL) I will be doing the Secondary highway. You still get a big sign just smaller then the interstate ones. As of now it's just me doing the four miles.I'M looking at doing it on the John Stark Highway from Claremont,NH to Newport NH. As that get s alot of travel and would be a good place for the usacarry.com sign.Another one is Route 12A and that runs from Claremont,NH to Charlestown,NH to Keene,NH another road that gets alot of traval. 3rd would be the back way to West Leb NH as that gets alot of traval as well. I have to pick 3 and put them in the order i want 1st,2nd,3rd, choice. IF any one would like to do this with me let me know by posting here or in a PM. I think i will need your name and some other information to put on the application not sure yet as i do not have the Application yet. I'm trying to set up a picnic for this summer and could use some help with that. I'm going to go get the application for the permit. I may have some trouble with that as some people are anit gun and think they know the laws. But RSA 159:26 should shut them up real fast. If not then Both RSA 159:26 and RSA 159:19 will do the trick. We will need a food list of what people want and Grills ( the park has some pits and stand up grills. Who wants to come and who is bringing what. Again you do not need to have a gun to come you can even be anit gun and come. Few rules, No beer of any kind ( does not mix with guns and cant have it by city code) Guns will stay holstered at all times. and a few others we can add as we go. So again if you would like to be apart of one or both get back to me.
