American Tobacco Trail Workday Saturday January 21 9 am

[Bill Bussey]

Hi Volunteers for the American Tobacco Trail,

This is to remind you of our American Tobacco Trail workday, *Saturday, 
January 21*, on the American Tobacco Trail at the Fayetteville Road 
Trailhead <http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> at 9 a.m. 

Please join us, Saturday, January 21 at 9 a.m. at the Fayetteville Road 
trailhead <http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> in Durham 
County. Our main focus will be to continue construction of our 
information pavillion structure at the parking area. The frame of this 
structure was constructed last week by a volunteer group. We'll continue 
their excellent work! 

We'll also be clearing and moving brush around this trail parking area 
which is currently under construction by TRTC. 
 
The weather may be rainy on Saturday. If so, we will have a limited 
workday that would end before noon, or none at all. Please use your best 
judgment to determine if you want to be working outside in rainy conditions.

While the main focus will be putting the roof on the structure - 
including cutting metal roof panels, mounting the panels and drilling 
holes and attaching them, we'll have other clearing brush things to do 
as well.

If you have a small, easily carried generator, please contact me as soon 
as possible. If you have a battery powered electric drill, we'll 
probably be able to use it. Batteries for drills won't last long 
drilling into heavy steel, so we'll need all we can get.

If you have a hand saw and/or chainsaw, and feel comfortable using them, 
please bring them along. Loppers are also needed. However, we mainly 
need folks to drag brush around.

We also could use a wheelbarrow or garden cart, if you have a means to 
haul it. And please bring a post hole digger if you have one.
 
Bring work gloves, full shoes or boots, clothing appropriate for the 
weather, water and a snack if you like.* *

We'll probably work till about noon or so. If it is raining badly or all 
over the area, or the forecast is for such, we'll cancel this workday. 
Feel free to call Bill Bussey at 919 545-9104, as late as 8 a.m., to 
verify a go or no go. However, if you aren't comfortable with the 
forecast, use your best judgment and join us or not as you prefer. 
Please let  Frank Bennett <mailto:FJB675 at hotmail.com>  919-851-3992 or 
Bill Bussey <mailto:billbus at gte.net> 919 545-9104  know if you have any 
questions.
