TGO's first Adopt-A-Highway sign

[TripleDigitRide]

I hope to see other members take charge of their areas. We could have TGO signs all over the state.

Here is the sign for the Sumner County area.

That brings a little tear to my eye. Wish I could drive by it everyday. Great job TDR!

This.

Thats great!

While I cant commit to traveling over there to help pick up trash, I would like to donate some ANSI II Hi-Vis safety vests to the project.

Is there any need for these? if so, tell me how many you need, and where to ship them.

You could easily drive by one just like it, everyday.

The state does supply safety vests (to borrow), but we did discuss buying our own, so we could put some sort of TGO logo on the back, even if we were forced to use a Sharpie. Your generous offer could put us in that direction, and would be much appreciated.

I'm still gathering a list of volunteers, so as soon as I get an actual number, I will pass on that info.

I knew that was coming.

There's no way in he-double-toothpicks I'm gonna loiter about the side of the road in ET. Pavement (and that center line) is merely a suggestion around here.

For the locals, the sign is located between mile markers 3 and 4 on the eastbound side of the road. As soon as you go underneath the overpass, the sign is on your right.

I stopped and got a picture of it also, but TDR beat me to the punch.

so how much cabbage would something like that set one back? What steps do you take, how do you start, thinking about a well know street in Burlington in Knoxville......

Thanks TDR, and 56...I will get by and check out that beauty...very soon!

[TripleDigitRide]

No problem, BEARMAN! I don't know about anyone else, but it gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling when I first saw it.

NOW IF WE ONLY HAD SHIRTS?!?!?!

Hey! At least they were once offered to most of you folks. David couldn't find a tent and awning company to make shirts big enough for my fat self. I've been waiting for the opportunity to buy some shirts from TGO and Hero-Gear, but my plumpness has prevented me from doing so.

I know, I know..I should simply lose some weight.

[KahrMan]

Very Cool.

[Guest BEARMAN]

Seen it today, and to say the least, it is simply....AWESOME!!! :up:

[TripleDigitRide]

I want to take a moment to thank Joe at Hero Gear again for the vests. I'm not suggesting that Joe and Hero Gear deal in junk, but the vests he donated to our cause are of far better quality than I had expected.

We could have easily gotten by with far cheaper vests than these from 5.11 tactical. Huge props to Joe for being so generous. We greatly appreciate your kindness generosity.
