greenville. according to my gazeer your near johnson city. not a place i get to often but ranger bob is a good snorkeling buddy when you can get him out. he is a natuarist at bay mountain state park and you owe it to yourself and son to go meet him. that is in kingsport. what a great park to experience. he hosted a couple native fish gatherings and i had the best of times at both except when i fell through the swinging bridge into possum creek... but there are war paint shiners under that bridge!
i live in chattanooga and spend all my spare time snorkeling or looking for clear water to snorkel in. im very glad to hear that your son is enjoying it and if he stays with it he will be blessed with many wonders. get him a wetsuit, full body, at a scuba store or used sporting store. and a beanie hood. gotta have it.
call me... im in the front of each issue of american currents, and you can tie that in with a visit to the tn aquarium. tho i tell you snorkeling on a perfect day in the hiwassee, little sequatchie or conasauga will blow away any tn aquarium expereince.

Nothing beats a 95 degree Tennessee day by snorkeling in a 68 degree tailwater with 2-3 meter visability.

Casper! It's about time! Seen anything cool lately? Speaking of snorkeling to the Con. Tyler and some TTU students were scheduling a trip for the end of the month.

i havent heard from this original poster... the river runner, perhaps that is what he is doing!
yes matt, ed and i ended up camping for 2 night w/ tyler and the tn tech folk, nice group. very enjoyable, excellent visibility tho kinda late in the year for good colors. i just spent the last 4 days snorkeling 4 rivers. french broad, emory, hiwassee and the conasauga. saw your snail darters at 2 locations. all were fun and got to camp a bit to w/ my son's scout troop during their river raft race on the hiwassee.
ive got 3 more trips in the works before the season is over.
so river runner... seen anything of late?

Wife now has new hardwood floors, work buddies have me helping with their home projects, etc.
The river level is lowest I've ever seen.
I did get to take my nephew out on the lake & up a clear trib over the weekend (my secret spot)
I think he had the best time of his summer. We fished, seined, netted, snorkeled, swam, paddled, & played fetch with my lab.
I hope his parents will soon forget the odor that hung over us at the end of the day. It's uncanny how decomposing plant material sturred up from streambed can smell worse than septic sewer!!
