1999 N.G.T.O. "Flinging on the Hi"
On November 12, 13, and 14, 1999, several illustrious
members of the N.G.T.O. Message Board gathered on the banks of the Hiwassee
River in Reliance, Tennessee. Although the fish did not cooperate, a weekend of
fun and fellowship was enjoyed by all. Special thanks to Aaron for organizing
the event, Hoochrat for the Cajun Food Fest on Saturday night, and many others,
without whom this event would not have happened. I took a few photos while at
the Fling, and hope to post more as participants send them in. Enjoy...The
