Members,

The recent BMTA Board meeting revealed that we need a push to finish the John Muir
Trail-BMT reroute near Reliance, TN. So we are changing the August GA worktrip to
a joint GA-TN trip to get that job done. To help with the fuel costs, we've added
carpooling arrangements from Atlanta and Blue Ridge to help with the fuel costs.

Details are below. Let's make a push. Join us if you can!
