Week of Activity: Teaching, Caving, Canoe Building, and Canoeing
I started the week teaching for one science methods class for UTC. It was as an enjoyable time and I hope useful the the attendees.

Ren & Christen with Snacks!
We came out to watch millions of bats leave the cave. It was quiet while they flew past. The kids from the Tennessee Aquarium sat at the entrance of the cave and enjoyed the bat guano.

Alaska Trip: Corbin & Julie
Corbin & Julie Swafford
Dan Riggs - Julie's Father
Today the boys and I went fishing down south on the Kasilof river. Corbin went out of the gate and snagged a 24 lb king salmon. The rest of us caught a few little ones (dan), a rag (bernie) and at that point I admended the bet (winner gets an Alaska t-shirt) to winner gets the cheesiest Alaska t-shirt that the others pick out (i.e. dreamcatchers, totem poles, and wolves). Since it was apparent Corbin was going to win 5 hours into the fishing, we all agreed (minus him, but it was 3 to 4 voting) to the new rule. Well about 7 hours into the drift fishing I caught my one and only fish. It was 44 pounds!!!!! I was holding the rod and felt a hit and thought I lost it. Started to reel it in, the fish took off ended up going up stream, I reeled, it ran, I reeled, it ran. When I got it closer to the boat the guide kept telling me to keep the rod up, but it was so heavy and bent in half I couldn't hold it up higher than I was!! I informed everyone that I better land it or I will be mad!! I did. Yay!! I think I like fishing. It was all in all was a great day!! The only thing I am not looking forward to is the choice of t-shirt I will have to wear.
