There is no controlled access to the Cane Creek segment of the trail. One modest fire and those who rely on the water provided from the Cane Creek Reservoir— Chapel Hill and Carrboro —will be asking questions to the government entities that permitted an unregulated trail through the reservoir. Of course OWASA will come under fire for permitting unregulated access to a trail within yards of the reservoir. Furthermore, the area of land behind Thunder Mountain is small and narrow. If the trail is moved one way it is unacceptably close to private residences; and if the trail is moved the other way, it is placed literally on top of the reservoir. Years ago, the decision to protect and secure the water supply showed great wisdom and insight into the future. The Orange County Commissioners would be serving the best interest of all who rely on the water today and for years to come, if they eliminate the proposed segment of the MST that goes through the Cane Creek watershed. Thus, I want to put forth a request to our Commissioners that they make a motion and vote to eliminate the MST through the Cane Creek watershed.
