Interesting site, and it's almost on-topic
 

ROFFians,

After reading Ken's most recent post about his trip to NC and seeing
the pics, I did a little search on Bunches Creek to try to find out more
about it. In the process, I ran across a very cool U of Tenn site that
has a wonderful collection of digitized images of the Smokies and
surrounding area. They are all the work of one photographer (an
amateur?!), and most were taken between the thirties and the fifties.

Go to: http://makeashorterlink.com/?E3625121B and click on "Browse
all images" if you're interested. (FWIW, I got an error message the
first time I tried to access if via Make a shorter link, but the second
time it worked fine. If it doesn't work, let me know if you;re
interested and I'll post the full url, but it's a *long* one.)

Enjoy.

And he's a professional, folks. Don't try this at home.

while the rational use of "very cool" and "u of tenn" in the same sentence
is a pragmatic impossibility, i would like to see the images. do i have to
register as an "approved researcher", as the site suggests?

You know, for a librarian, you're a pretty funny guy. :-)

FWIW, I found Bunches Creek. Looks like it's one of the brookie
waters that re-opened in 2002. (I won't post the coordinates, but I
think I've found almost exactly where Ken would have been fishing; i.e.,
near the headwaters.)

Hmmm ... I didn't have to do anything except re-load the page to get
at it. I don't know if that's because I'm coming from an ".edu" site or
not. Did you try simply re-loading or clicking again on the link?

You know, it's bad enough that you're a beer snob, but now you're a site
snob, too. ;-) I have the same problem as wayno. . . no, not THAT one!

Heh. That's *Mr.* DYBS to you, son. ;-)

That's what I got when I first clicked the Make A Shorter Link url,
but then I just backed out and clicked it again and had no problems.

Try going he http://www.lib.utk.edu/refs/smokies/digcoll.html and
clicking on the Albert "Dutch" Roth collection. Then click on "All
images", and see if that works.

Same here... I click the first link that took me to make a shorter link, I
clicked that link and was taken to the site.

Very cool photo's!

Thanks,

Much better, but you really should have said something like, "They have
a character filter running on the site, so if you have low moral
character you may not be able to view it." You're new to this site snob
business, aren't you? ;-)

Very nice site. I'll have to go back and view more closely later. Right
now my WastedTimeAtWork-O-Meter is pegged just by reading roff.
