"Conan The Librarian" wrote in message ... Ah, so I guess you've already seen the great maps they have of the Smokies? Nah. Somewhat ironically, I suppose, every time I look at that stuff I just sort of start to wander around and end up getting lost. :) Boy, can I relate to that. I went back to that site and the GSMNP maps, and I'm currently lost somewhere up beyond Chasteen Creek on Bradley Fork of the 'Luftee. But the fishing is good. :-) That's pretty much heaven for a librarian. Chuck Vance (or a librarian wannabe like yourself :-) *******! You promised you wouldn't tell! :( Wolfgang sshhh! Ooops, too late. But don't worry, I'm guessing Claspy's the only one besides ourselves reading this part of the thread anyway. :-) Chuck Vance (and your secret is safe with us) |

Potentially the Grand River? I don't know that area very well, perhaps Wayne could chime in. I'm guessing whichever river it is doesn't have brook trout in it any more. Looking at this: http://www.memoriallibrary.com/Trans/RRGaz/CGT/map.htm I'd be surprised if we ever identified that river. There are a lot of little streams in the Grand Trunk RR network. --riverman At one of the William B. Mershon Tu Chapter dinners, a guest speaker did a presentation about William B. Mershon. William B. Mershon traveled through out the U.S. and Canada with his private railcar. He lived in the Saginaw Michigan area and was a successful businessman. http://www.midmichigantraveler.com/h...y_fishing.html http://www.flyanglersonline.com/feat...s/part181.html The scenery looks very similar to a few of the slides shown at the presentation. I can't recall the name of the location, only that it was on the westside of Lower Michigan. Ron |
