After intending to sign up for at least six months, and taking our cue from our pals at Frama, Padre’s and the Chinati Foundation, we finally did it — we adopted a highway! Praise be. We’ll be cleaning the area around Prada Marfa four times a year, with two of the cleanings open to community volunteers. Orange jumpsuits at the ready. Thanks to Jessica Brassler and John Conners at TX DOT for making this happen (and thanks to the 55 for the great photo of Prada Marfa). –NI
