Hi David et al.

My name is Colin Loring, I'm in upper east TN working with
the Hancock Co. Soil Conservation District (SCD) and NRCS.

I don't where you're looking but NRCS bought some Landsat TM
in TN several years ago, covering the TN portion of the Clinch River 
watershed. Don't remember the path and row but will get it if you'd like.
It covers upper east TN though.
You might check with NRCS or SCD's in your area of interest.

I'm working with a group of - Community Partners- with interest in 
economic development and resource base conservation.
The Co. gvt. and School system, SCD, Chamber of Commerce, Clinch-Powell RC&D,
Jubilee (an Appalachian mission project), Emergency Mgt. & Red Cross,
TNC et al, are represented. I've been asked to put together a GIS demo.
So far I've got a friend here in TN NRCS coming to Sneedville to show 
some agricultural applications on GRASS with some Digital ortho photoquads 
and some of the '82 Landsat TM stuff on his laptop.

I'd like to ask to the list, if anyone out there has done any GRASS based 
Emergency Mgt. or forestry projects including forest fire mgt.
or geohydrologic stuff. I think I could borrow some equipment to run
some time series or animation if it could be transferred 
via i-net to the Sneedville site.

The SCD in partnership with others, hopes to get started with a GRASS 
based system now, with an open mind to going -standard- in the future if 
it appeared necessary. TN and NRCS have officially stated they plan to 
adopt Arc/Info as their standard, and be running it some time in the 
future when funding allows. 

I feel like the demo and ensuing hands on play time
could help bring together a county GIS partnership
capable of a sustained growth county 
GIS program; if it's a good demo
and can catalyze formation of the GIS 
partnership. 

Thanks.

I'll keep in touch.

bye
