Camp Casey Adopts A Highway — With Unveiling Of Camp Casey Invention: The ‘Gulp ‘n Grab’

CRAWFORD Last week, the members of Camp Casey 3 were out in bright orange vests collecting trash on the two-mile stretch of highway that passes their front yard. The Gulp ‘n Grab, created by Camp Casey members, will allow trash-picker-uppers to stay hydrated while collecting refuse.

The highway was officially adopted on Tuesday, Aug. 29, when members inquired with officials if they could do unofficial highway adoption and cleanup in the two-mile stretch. Much to their surprise they were told that they could officially adopt that road and now the members are proud parents. The commitment includes a quarter annual cleanup.

The official signs stating that highway has new adopted parents will be up in the next few months.

“We are pleased to be neighbors here in Crawford. And as our civil responsibility we want to keep our highways clean,” retired Army Colonel Ann Wright of Camp Casey 3.
