I am attending the annual conference of the OWAA (Outdoor Writers Association of America). This year’s conference is in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, at the city’s convention center.
Although cities are not my “norm” as places to spend much time, I took a walk and found a pleasing view of the Knoxville Sun Sphere. I’m enjoying myself, meeting new people, learning a lot, getting ideas and looking forward to tomorrow’s talks and outdoor activities.
