I wish I could go to this kind of thing! Sounds like fun, I however have been spending most of my evenings and weekends doing homework. I realize that it is important that I learn everything there is to know about 130 species of trees, and that I may someday need to find out how much merchantable wood is in a 75' 15" pine tree. I am a wildlife major, however, I am realizing this semester is about TREES. Actually, we did spend 20 min measuring long dead fish in one class, but we are back to trees now. Before I complain about school any more, I do love it. I am outside almost every day for lab. (getting bitten by bugs and measuring trees)
I lost my point. I think we should enlist more females and college age people. The idea of me spending a weekend w/ middle age men, not many women and no one my age, however fun the fish, is just not acceptable. (I also think that my significant other has something to do with this idea- party pooper!)
Yes, we need a younger, more diverse group of fish lovers so that the minority may come forward! AKA me!
Am I the only female on the NANFA list? only female under 25? I know there is Travis, but are there any others here that are 20ish?? Speak up, don't be shy!
I want to share the moon pies!
Traci - on her soapbox. again.
ps. its late, what can I say.

Subject: NANFA-- Alabama Getaway Oct. 4th-6th
Anyone interested in getting in one more collecting trip
before the end
of the season is cordially invited to attend the first
annual Alabama
Getaway in and around Birmingham, Alabama the weekend of
October
4th-6th.
I've scouted out some pretty sites on both the Little
Cahaba River (just
below Lake Purdy) and Turkey Creek (trib. of the Black
Warrior River,
and home to the federally endangered Vermilion darter (e.
Chermocki))
which should make for a nice couple of days' collecting.
We're also
close enough to hit the Coosa River system if we want to.
I can accommodate 3 or 4 at my house (your sleeping bag, my
floor) and
there are plenty of motels close by. I also promise to feed
everybody
well Friday and Saturday nights, although I don't know if I
can outdo
the fine eats at the Miss. Fish Camp.
So come on down if you're of a mind and join us, won't you?
All
interested parties let me know as soon as possible so I
know how much
food to buy. I'll also be glad to e-mail maps to my house
and directions
to those who need them. Hope to see you there, I mean here!

To the group decision makers out there, I recommend a visit
to Coldwater Spring Run in Anniston\Oxford alabama, right
off I-20 at the Coldwater exit. My family owns property not
far downstream from the spring, and yall could make it a
stop on your Getaway if you'd like to come see our Pygmy
Sculpins. Plus I've been wanting to get a species of hogfish
identified. I will be free on the 4th 5th and 6th and more
than happy to guide yall to some nice collecting and plain
ol viewing spots I know of. Let me know what yall think,
because with the creek in my backyard, it would be an ideal
stop for some very interesting species.
