Workday this Saturday at Fayetteville Road Parking Area

[Bill Bussey]

Hi American Tobacco Trail Volunteers,

With the weather expected to be nice this weekend, we'll continue our 
work demolishing the structure at the future ATT parking area on 
Fayetteville Road about a mile south of I-40 in southern Durham.

We'll begin about 9 a.m. and work until at least noon. If you can't make 
it at 9, come on out later! We may be doing some work on Sunday as well. 
Feel free to join us anytime and leave anytime you like.

We'll mainly be taking an old shack which by that time will mostly be 
down and putting the boards in a dumpster which is on site. There is 
also some trash on the property as well. Basically, we'll be filling the 
dumpster.

There will be ample opportunity to break up the structure using axes, 
sledges and other implements of destruction. As the Brits say, It is 
"SMASHING" good time! It is a great way to work out your frustrations! 
I've had a blast axing through the vertical joists!

Don't forget to bring your work gloves, long pants and preferably long 
sleeved shirts. Please make sure that your tetanus shot is up-to-date as 
there are a lot of nails. Bring water and a snack if you like.

If you have it, please bring a wheelbarrow or wheeled cart. We can also 
use long handled sledge axes and/or sledges. You might want to bring a 
bucket to carry home anything that might be of use to you.
 
Please contact me by email or phone if you have any questions or 
comments. If you have a string trimmer, we may be able to put that to 
good use. We don't need chainsaws on this work as there are lots of 
nails about.

Trucks and trailer capable of making runs to the recycling stations are 
always welcome.

Directions: From Southpoint Mall and I-40 on Fayetteville Road, go south 
about 1/2 mile. See the cement bridge over the American Tobacco Trail or 
old RR. Property is on the immediate right BEFORE you cross the bridge. 
If you cross the bridge and pass the entrance of Chancellors Ridge on 
the right, you've gone too far. Park along the shoulder of Fayetteville 
Road.

 From the south, from NC 751 coming from US 64, drive north on NC 751 to 
the stoplight at Fayetteville Road. Turn right onto Fayetteville Road. 
Go about a mile and cross the cement bridge. Property is on the 
immediate left past just past the bridge. Park on the shoulder. If you 
pass the new Drees Home subdivision on your left, you've gone too far.

Thanks for your great work on the American Tobacco Trail.
