TRAIL WORK PARTIES - WEEKEND OF 12 & 13 AUGUST
Here's details of next weekend's work parties at Huntsville SP, Memorial Park and Carl Barton Jr. Park (Conroe). All work parties qualify for Paydirt points. Paydirt is open to all volunteers and enters you into yearly drawings worth thousands of dollars. Paydirt points are earned towards TMBRA Spring Championship Series overall points - if you race, you need to earn at least 10 hours of Paydirt time for 60 points. Don't procrastinate - get your paydirt hours in early! Volunteer hours also accrue valuable grant equivalency funds, which can be used to provide matching funds for Federal trail grant awards. Unlike the racers, who have to do some trail work, the rest of you will volunteer simply because it feels good! See y'all out there.
HUNTSVILLE STATE PARK:
Saturday August 12, 2006
Huntsville State Park, Huntsville Texas
Begin hiking/riding to work site at 08:00 AM
Recommended Tools for volunteers to bring: Spade Shovel, Metal Rake (not leaf rake), Long Handle and hand clippers, gloves, sunscreen, Bug Repellant with DEET, hat, and good attitude. I would also recommend bringing camel backs. We will have fluids for you to fill them with but it keeps the hydration handy.
Meet at Nature center just inside the front gate at 8:00AM. There is a new parking lot. I suggest using it as the park law enforcement group will write tickets for parking on the grass. We will have to ride our bikes or hike in to the work sites. I will plan to have the park's four wheeler to get fluids in.
Work time will not exceed 5 hours.

MEMORIAL PARK:
Want a chance to help make the Memorial Park mountain bike trails better? A work party is scheduled for the Memorial Park bike trails on Saturday, August 12th from 9 AM to 2 PM. Your trail work experience level does not matter for this work party; we will teach you what you need to know.
We will be meeting at the rugby field parking lot. You are encouraged to bring gloves, safety glasses, a full camelback, trimming tools, sunglasses or safety glasses, shovels, rakes, and mosquito repellent. GHORBA will provide drinks and snacks, and lunch will be provided at the conclusion of the work party.
Please send a message to clayfenton@aol.com to RSVP your intent to participate (and join us for lunch).
If the work party is in jeopardy of being canceled due to wet conditions, please call Clay at (713) 826 – 5307 or Brian at (713) 569 – 2994, but please don’t call us before 8 AM that morning.
CARL BARTON JR. PARK:
Sunday, 13 August, 0800 - 1200 (or later if we still have some willing help).
We will hold a work party to help cut the brand new trail at Carl Barton Jr. Park in Conroe. This work party will support the group attending the Trail Clinic. We will have some tools, but if you have trimmers, rakes or shovels - bring them along. Just as for the other work parties, don't forget your bug spray, stout work shoes and suitable clothing. We will be providing hydration, but a camel-bak is a useful tool to keep you going as we dig into the woods.
The park is located south of Conroe on East Loop 336, 2.75 miles east of I-45. Meet at the main park building. If you are late, need more info, or if the weather looks bad, call or e-mail Kevin Highfield at 281 546 7164, khighfield@...
