Early May is actually a good time for me to get out and about too. My thesis work wont start until late May. Within the Nashville area itself you have the Stones River, which has a few neat endemics, some of which are SSC. Bruce really covered the stuff that is South and SW pretty well which is probably where you would get some of your greatest diversity, especially the Duck. If you head directly due East and you can run into things like the Caney Fork, Collins, and other parts of the Cumberland system. West of Nashville you can hit the lower Duck and Buffalo rivers. Its a great starting place really because in any direction you go, you are going to end up with some really different things.

Scott, you probably want to head south or east from Nashville. Due south you
hit the Hespeth, Duck and Elk drainages which are all fun. If you took I-26
S.E. towards Chattanooga you enter some interesting areas of highlands
including the Elk origin, and into areas tributary to the Tennessee by other
routes. But there are loads of other systems too, many of which I haven't
hit yet in almost seven years of living in the region. I might be able to
meet you somewhere; I'll let Casper volunteer himself.
