Next workday is coming up here very soon. I have seen what she wants done and will post it here very soon , but after riding out there yesterday we have a bunch ( way too many ) new spider trails on a bunch of trails from Wolf Den to the others. Pretty much every trail has a bunch of new spider trails. Need the clubs that are the sponsors to step up to the plate very soon or we will never catch up.
 
And yes it is on the 13th this month as the third Saturday is Father's day and the FS figures we would have even less folks.
 
If you can find larger branches / dead tree's to drag across the spider trails it would be very handy. Just something big enough to let people know it is not a good thing to drive back there.
 
Hi Everyone – The next Volunteer Work Day is June 13th. Joel & I will meet you at the Uwharrie Hunt Camp at 9 am. The plan for this work day is to complete the guardrail installation at the top of Daniel Trail and to do some signing and blazing of the system trail. We will also re-install the guardrail at the top of the rock crawl on Dickey Bell Trail (if we have time).


Please bring food and water and extra augers, shovels, ratchets, shovels, sledge hammers, gloves, etc. Joel mentioned that those of you that worked at the last work day thought it might be good to have a bobcat & auger there for the Daniel Trail section that is left to do. Let me know if you’ve got someone working on getting one rented and if there will be an equipment operator among the volunteers there to help out. We can use this for in-kind matching for our grants too.


Bye the way, for the clubs that haven’t turned in their Adopt a Trail forms please email them to me before the 13th or bring them that day. I’m finally updating the information for the kiosks (instead of doing the trail signs that keep getting stolen or vandalized) and I want to make sure I have all of the current adoptees on the list when I put the signs up on all of the TH kiosks this June. I don’t have anything back from the following clubs – Bragg 4x4, UNCC Off Road, CROC, and Carolina Broncos. I know a lot of your groups are still volunteering and some new groups have talked to me but haven’t sent any paperwork back. If your club doesn’t want to adopt a trail anymore and just volunteer when you can that is ok but please email me back and let me know that is what your club wants to do.


Thanks a lot everyone. We really appreciate your help. See you on June 13th. Bye - Terry
 
Any idea of folks coming out ? I think the plan still is to rent a Bobcat for Daniel to do the guard rails up top.
 
We have a bobcat lined up... Everyone needs to thank and support the guys at the farm for supporting our work day
 
Finished installing guard rail on the back side of Daniel to the top meeting with the previously installed section at the very top. Everyone worked super hard it was a very hot day thanks to the farm for use of the Bobcat it worked out well. Also thanks to Snappy for operating the Bobcat driving it up Daniel had its moments
