>  Hi Volunteers for the American Tobacco Trail,
>

> Saturday, which is tomorrow! We'll be meeting at the O'Kelly Chapel 
> Road Trailhead <http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> at 9 AM.

> *Saturday, July 23 at 9 AM* is our Chatham County ATT Workday at 
> O'Kelly Chapel Road Trailhead

>
> Bill Bussey and perhaps others will lead the group filling some ruts 
> and holes with gravel in the O'Kelly Chapel Road area (both north and 
> south. This will help improve the ride and walking for trail users. We 
> hope it will also help with drainage.

  We may also be doing some more trimming of growing bushes and weeds 
alongside the trail. Feel free to bring a hand saw, loppers or the like 
if you have them. Loppers will be helpful particularly south of Pittard 
Sears Road.

We'll also do some other small projects and some scouting work which 
needs to be done as well, depending on the number of folks we have.

> We'll have shovels, rakes and other tools needed. Bring work gloves, 
> clothing appropriate for the weather, water and a snack if you like.

> We can also use a pickup or fairly high clearance vehicle, to either 
> haul or simply roll over the applied gravel. If you have one and don't 
> mind driving it down the trail, please bring it. 
>
> We'll probably work till about noon or so. Please let Frank Bennett
