Hi Everyone - I'm very sorry about the late notice for this month's work weekend. For August 20th - this Saturday, I've heard from Olde North State Cruisers that they will be coming up for this weekend. We're doing a low key work weekend this weekend like we did in July due to budget issues and due to people's work schedules. If your club is planning on coming up please go to Janet Becker's at Arrowhead Campground and pick up tools for cleaning out the tail ditches of the rolling dips, trail markers, hammers, nails, trash bags, etc. and hit the trails. Janet will give me the sign in sheets so I'll get documentation of your volunteer hours.
Olde North State Cruisers - I heard from Clint that you'd have about 5 people coming up this weekend. For this Saturday we need one crew of about 2 folks to go around and install carsonite posts and add the labels to them in a bunch of locations on several trails including Wolf Den. Drew Brown can meet you at 9 am at Wolf Den Trailhead and give you the supplies and then he'd head out with the crew that would be doing that work and he can work with them in the morning until about 11:30. He'll have the list of sites that need signs installed at them. The other folks in your group that can make it can use shovels to clean out tail ditches, get trash bags, trail markers, hammers, nails, etc and do general maintenance and marking of Wolf Den Trail. If you'll need campsites please contact Janet Becker asap so she can get them set for you. Her email is
uwharriehost@hotmail.com. Thanks a lot.
On September 17th we'll have a big work weekend but unlike last weekend I'd like all of the clubs to contact me directly and let me know which clubs will be there. I need a good estimate of how many from your club will really be there and if you'll have any equipment. I'd like to coordinate projects for the adoptees to do on their specific trails and determine what equipment needs you'd all have, so if your club is coming in September please let me know the details of your group size and potential equipment you'd bring and I can plan the appropriate scale projects. For September I know NC 4x4 will be getting some equipment and I'll have their group working on their own projects but I don't know for the other clubs. If your club is not going to be there for the Sept 17th work weekend or if you're only going to have a small group and don't want to do a big project please let me know that as well to help me with organization of the projects.
CNC - Slab Pile Trail - I've heard from Richard that your club would be available for a work weekend on Slab Pile Trail for the November work weekend. The sites that did not get worked on in June that were on the list will be ones I'd like to get done with your club in November. I'll send you a separate note about the details of what needs to be worked on for your trail and we can prioritize them and figure out what can be done in Nov and what can be done when the trails are closed.
Thanks a lot everyone. I appreciate your help on the trails. Bye - Terry
