Maybe they could patch a few potholes while they're there

A devout group of evangelical Christians in the Midwest are flocking to help purify a spot they believe the Bible has ordained as holy ground -- and it happens to be 1,500 miles of interstate asphalt.

Why the location?

According to CNN, the small contingent of churchgoers believe that Interstate 35, a sprawling highway running from Texas to Minnesota, is specifically mentioned in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 35.

(Raw Story)

And JIC you're not convinced about the holiness quotent this highway one Cindy Jacobs, an organizer of the prayathon, points out the Minneapolis bridge collapse last August was on I-35, and also the assassination of JFK happened, well, somewhere near it. So there ya go.

Anyway if they get enough people up there on the northern end of it, flocking, they might act as a sort of human snow fence, which would probably be a good thing.
