American Tobacco Trail Workday Saturday February 11 9 am

[Bill Bussey]

Hi Volunteers for the American Tobacco Trail,

This is to remind you of our American Tobacco Trail workday, Tomorrow, 
*Saturday, February 11*, on the American Tobacco Trail at the 
Fayetteville Road Trailhead 
<http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> at 9 a.m. 

Please join us, Saturday, February 11 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 the roof for 
our information pavillion structure at the parking area. The frame of 
this structure was constructed several weeks back TRTC volunteers. We've 
since cut out the roof panels. We'll continue working on the roof.

Last weekend it rained - and kept on raining! Understandably, only three 
of us showed up. We did manage to get some holes dug in what turned out 
be a clay rich soil for our main entrance sign.
 
For those who want to do something other than installing the roof, there 
is still some clearing and moving brush around this trail parking area 
which is currently under construction by TRTC. We'll have some post 
holes to dig as well for several things that we are installing.
 
Weather conditions are sketchy for tomorrow. It may be rainy or worse on 
Saturday. If so, we will have a limited workday that would end before 
noon. Or we may have none at all. Please use your best judgment to 
determine if you want to be working outside in rainy conditions.
 
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.
 
We can often use loppers if you have them. If you have a hand saw and 
feel comfortable using it, please bring them along.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.
 
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.
