Spikes Awarded to Deep River Rail-Trail (DRRT) Prime Movers
Perry Conner and Dilys Bowman received the "working spike" award for their DRRT accomplishments. The spikes were found 2009 in Franklinville on Harvey Harman's section of the Atlantic and Yadkin Ramseur Branch when it was motor graded for placing the crushed stone and fines on the old railbed for the trail. Perry credits NCRT with having saved the town's Recreational Trails Program grant and with Harvey's help got the rail-trail on the ground and as the RPO's top non motorized request for DOT funding. Dilys has been active on workdays, prepared numerous maps and information displays on the DRRT, and played an active role within the DRRT oversight group. In a separate ceremony in Pittsboro on November 21st, Mr. Harman received a golden spike award .
