Kayak This! Hiawassee River, Reliance Tennessee!
Reliance Tennessee is one of my favorite places in the world. This video is worth your time, because it's like stepping back in time! At the same time, reliance is unique in that it's powerhouse helps to provide the region with electricity. Most people go to the Smokies for their Mountain Fix. But people who have been to Reliance in Polk County Tennessee will tell you, this historical area is a secret getaway that's second to none.

Hiwassee River, Reliance, Tn Apr 2014
A Mystery catch, it never surfaced after pulling the boat. I got down to the backing a couple of times, but it kept pulling. Knew it wasn't a Trout that we had been catching all day which would surface or jump. Finally the guide got out of the boat and found the line wrapped around a rock and broken off. I think it was either a bit Snapping turtle or Nesse.....
Hiwassee River Kayaking
Labor Day, 2015, we hit the Hiwassee River near Reliance Tennessee for some kayaking and fishing. This river is a great paddle! The water was down a little bit, but the rapids were still exciting. I paddled the Jackson Big Tuna on this trip. It handled like a barge compared to other kayaks, but the stability was awesome. A few fish caught on the day; bass and trout. This is a great river for kayak fishing! The Hiwassee River is big and wide, so an angler can either fish from the kayak in eddies or holes, or can get out to wade and tie their kayak off to fish. #hiwasseeriver

40th Birthday Labor Day Hiwassee River Float. Reliance, TEnnessee to Gee Creek. Serenity Bus Project
We took a break from building the bus to celebrate Brian’s 40th birthday. We love you Ocoee Tennessee region and spent the weekend before Watching the Ocoee river championships on the Ocoee whitewater course. So for Brian’s birthday we thought we would float the Hiwassee, the Ocoee’s sister river.
TVRM Copperhill Special @ The Hiwassee River Bridge filmed with the Autel Evo 8 24 19
A hot August Saturday finds the Copperhill Special returning back to Gee Creek from Copperhill. The Autel Evo captures the train as it crosses State Route 68 at the Hiwassee River Bridge below the Hiwassee Loop.
I will try to film the train again in the fall when the deciduous trees lose their leaves. The train literally disappeared into the tree canopy this time. Still the Hiwassee River gorge is beautiful, even in the hot summer time.

Body Found In Hiwassee River, Family Pleads
NewsChannel9 is learning new details about the woman's body that was found floating in the Hiwassee river over the weekend.
While police won't release the identity of the body just yet, a Cleveland family contacted NewsChannel9 saying the woman was their loved one.
Family members say they knew something wasn't right after they reported 36-year-old Latasha Nichols missing last month. It only took one simple phone call from authorities to confirm their worst fear, Nichols was never coming home.
The first thing I said was, have you found my daughter? They said, we don't know. That's why they want to come down and speak with me, said Nichols' mother Phyllis Shutt.
Shutt says after being questioned, authorities took DNA and sent it off to Nashville to testing. The results proved to be a mother's worst nightmare.
We got a call back later and said that it was her, said Shutt.
Now her family is left without a daughter and a mother of two.
I wanna know what happened to my baby. You know? She might be 34, but she's still my baby, said Shutt.
Shutt says the worst part is waiting for the autopsy results to come back. Until then, she's sharing this emotional plea with you.
All I'm asking if anybody out there knows anything, seen her or knows of anything, please let me know about my daughter so we can get justice done to her please. I'm begging you, said Shutt.
The family has made funeral arrangements for Nichols. The viewing will be held Wednesday, September 3rd from 4:30 to 7 pm at Jim Rush Funeral Homes in Cleveland. The funeral will be held Thursday, September 4th at 1 pm at the same location.

This morning along the Hiwassee River in Tennessee was too nice to not get outside with my camera and put together this short piece showing a few of the natural wonders to be seen in the Hiwassee Ocoee State Park.
Hiwassee Ocoee State Park Tour
I got to meet the park manager and we did a driving tour of this beautiful park. Great place for camping and the water is so clear! Right in the middle of the Overhill area, so you can go into Etowah, Deloano, Reliance, or sit and doze by the campfire!
