Weather is looking good == Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 85.

Yours in scouting,

******************************

From the Rivanna Trails work crew coordinators –

This Saturday, September 8th work day for the Rivanna Trails will take place along a new portion of the County Greenways along the River at Dunlora.

We will gather at Penn Park (9:00am) and transportation down to the work site will be provided. Tools, gloves, and water will be provided.

The work will involve vegetation clearing and some “path forming”. The ground in this area is made up of a very sandy loam that is easily formed with fire axe, rake and shovel.

We look forward to working with RTF volunteers again and with the Scouts of Troop 37 as we plan to go forth, as suburban pioneers, to make new trails. For awhile now I have been trying to get various groups that I regularly work with to make themselves a cadence or “call and respond field song”. I haven’t had much luck yet.

Maybe I will revise my list to read:

Tools, gloves and water provided by County Greenway Staff Trail Crew should bring small pack with rain gear, solid shoes, spare socks, bug spray, snacks etc…and a couple of darn good trail songs.
