Knoxville TOS Field Trip Knoxville, TN February 22, 2008 Submitted by Ginger Goolsby, Morristown, TN On Sunday, February 24, 2008, David Trently of the Knoxville TOS Club will lead a field trip to Kyker Bottoms. Start time is 8:30; however, David will be there at 7 a.m. and anyone is welcome to join him - call for meeting place.
