I&#8217;ve picked up 17 so far. Within days of getting trained, me and my fellow 61 volunteers picked up over 500 trash signs off city rights of way. I&#8217;m all official now. I have a city ID Badge with my photo on it and some &#8220;cop gloves&#8221; to help protect from sabotaged signs. (Not yet in Tulsa but apparently in other cities the people who have put out litter on a stick signs have superglued razor blades to the wire frames.&#8221; The gloves will come in handy for geocaching also. On my bike ride on the Osage Prairie Trail I went looking for a cache called something like &#8220;In the hole&#8221; and I found the hole in the tree and as I went to inspect it, a snake slithered out! So as we say in the energy biz, I plugged and abandoned that cache, figuratively. I am just glad that I didn&#8217;t stick my hand in there, even though the slithery critter did not appear to be poisonous.<\/p>\n<h1>I am linking with <a href=\"https:\/\/skyley.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skywatch Friday<\/a> this week.<\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I took my bicycle up north of Tulsa to the &#8220;Osage Prairie Trail&#8221; a rails to trail project\u00a0 that starts in north Tulsa and goes to Skiatook, way out in the country.
