Tennessee bound!

[Kaysie]

Spring Break is finally here, and the urge to travel, always itching at me under the skin, has finally overcome me.

So I'm leaving for Tennessee (Townsend, TN, to be specific) tomorrow morning (3am!). I hope to bring back LOTS of good pictures, and hopefully no new scars (okay, maybe a few), and no snake bites!

We're really hoping for hellbenders, and I have some good indication of where they've been historically, and a friend going with me incidentally electroshocked one last field season while electrofishing for trout. So hopefully we can find that one again, or some in that watershed.

Wish me luck! I'll see you all again around Monday!

Good luck. Don't bring back any ticks either.

 

[Kaysie]

Let's hope not. I hate ticks. I'm not creeped out by much, but they're just.... really gross.

Yeah ticks suck to say the least, and lyme disease medication just as well. But good luck. Can't wait to hear back!

Good luck. With all the rain we've been having in the area you should fair well with Pleths. Still a little chilly to be in the water looking for benders though, I'll wait until July!

Found about a dozen species. And the river was a little too surging to go wading for benders. Sad. I'll just have to go back out. I'll post pics when I'm more conscious (I was trapped in Ohio from the blizzard for 2 days).
