Welcome to the site. I'm in Oak Ridge, and I just started this year, but I've been bitten by the bug bad! I've been relying heavily on an experienced beek from Oliver Springs.

Hey pilothawk, are you a 'hawk pilot?
I am, at least for the time being, will leave active duty at the end of the year.
You live in an area that I (we) are thinking of relocating to.
I'm new to the bee's myself, I've got two hives for about two months now.

I wasn't actually a pilot in a blackhawk. I was a crewchief. However, I needed a screen name for my first message board which dealt with Honda Pilots. The 4-wheeled ATV variety made in 1989 and 1990 (very similar to, but better than the old honda odysseys).
I crewed in Panama, and was in a crash in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield. Currently I am a Registered Nurse in an intensive care unit (this is a direct result of having spent a month in the hospital after the crash). I'm no longer riding the pilots, but still have a dirt bike I ride from time to time. Oh I am also attempting my luck with bees this year.
East Tennessee is a beautiful place. Come by for a visit and I'll show you my "crash book" and tell you what I can about the area. I grew up here and migrated back after my time in the army.
