[Bill Bussey]

  HI Volunteers for the American Tobacco Trail,

This message is to remind you of our American Tobacco Trail workday, 
tomorrow, *Saturday, August 12*, is canceled. We will be supporting the 
Carolina Tarwheels Bicycle Club by staffing a rest stop in their annual 
Bike Fest 2006 <http://www.tarwheels.org/bikefest/>

Thanks to all who have signed up to help us with this event. If you'd 
like to help us staff this rest stop, please contact me 
<mailto:billbus at gte.net> as soon as you can.

Our workdays will resume as usual next week, Saturday, August 19. We'll 
be working from the Scott King Road Trailhead 
<http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> 9 a.m. See the schedule 
of our future workdays below.

Also if you haven't already, please go sign our petition 
<http://www.petitiononline.com/att2/petition.html>asking Durham to stop 
stalling on designing and building the American Tobacco Trail. We are up 
over 1050 names on this petition. I hope you are all on there!

One more bit of news. The final phase of the ATT in Wake County, from 
the White Oak Church Road Parking area north to the Chatham County line, 
is *NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION.* This is really* great news!* Many of you on 
this list have helped clear and clean this section. *Thank YOU! *

Heavy grading equipment is now being used on the entire mile plus length 
of this section of trail. For your safety, Wake Parks Staff, as do we, 
ask that you do not access this section of trail while construction is 
in progress. The contractor, Carolina Asphalt Paving Inc., an 
experienced greenway and trail builder, says they should be complete in 
90 days, weather permitting.

Thanks for your help and support in building the American Tobacco Trail.

Happy Trails,

Bill Bussey
