Next Work Party> Brown Wave Trail at FATS, Saturday, July 10th
We’ve been doing some mini prep work parties it’s time for the big mow, trim, lop in this trail and we need you! If you can come on July 10th please reach out to us at sorba.csra@gmail.com if you can’t, please share this with others who might can help. New volunteers very welcomed!
We already have some volunteers signed up but need quite a few more.
This one will be our 6th Annual Sherri West Memorial Work Party. Sherri loved our local trails and was particularly fond of FATS but she was a regular at many, many work parties. She would be so proud knowing her son is following in her footsteps.

FATS Update!
FATS is drying out nicely and will be officially open on Saturday before daylight.
Heads up there is new erosion on the trail from the intensity of the rain this week. There also might be trees down along the trail.
Expect some wet/mucky spots but overall the tread will be good.

FATS Update!
(Aug 14/6:30pm) Based on the gauges and observation we rely on, looks like FATS received about a quarter of an inch of rain in just over an hour this afternoon. Trails have been dry so this should soak in quickly. Trails should be good to go tomorrow.
More rain predicted tomorrow afternoon though so be aware.

(Sep 9/7:15am) FATS Update!
Lots of rain in the area with sporadic heavy outputs up to 4 inches. From the gauges we use it looks like FATS only picked up about an inch of rain. If so trails should be good to go in 24 hours.
More rain today some heavy but it looks like it should stay below I-20, we’ll update if otherwise.
