    If they were doing such activities, it'd be in the daylight. Flying low around The River is dangerous with so many electrical lines around.

    It makes no sense to do it at night..and If TVA was going to treat any vegetation on a large scale they would probably put out a public announcement also.

    grass didn't do much this year for some reason but don't believe that was the problem. High water maybe!

    had a couple of spillway events that had high current........that's always my theory on whether or not we have a grassy summer............pulled up a few pieces last week near Cane creek.......14-16" long so it has a long way to go to top out
