Did they let them retrieve foul balls, too? Used to be a good place to get free firewood. They would cut and stack it. All you had to do was load how much ever you wanted.

I played ball just several hundred yard from James Earl Ray. For the younger folks, that is the man that shot and killed MLK.

Yeah he does. He's a pretty good cook himself. He's retired Air Force, he's been out there so long he sounds like a Californian less Kentuckian lol.

If he's a drinking man, ask him if he remembers the Mule Lip Saloon in Colton.

Pretty sure oliver springs is anderson county, when you head out toward harriman and rockwood is when you hit roane. Those are some very poor places, my family (extended) lived in the windrock community of oliver springs. We would visit them pretty often, back when you could drive all over ORNL, and knock on Y-12's door without being hauled to jail

It is. Easy to mistake if you aren't from around there. Morgan, Anderson and Roane pretty much meet right there.

Nope, OS is Roane county. I went to school at Dyllis and OS elementary. Went to HS in Harriman and it's Roane CO too.

Yep, their big to-do's take place at the tri-county center. The morgan/anderson county lines split some home's living rooms in half. They are a tough bunch though, decended from coal mining stock

Weird. I looked on the net and it's referenced to be in both counties, Roane and Anderson. Somebody get over there and straighten them out.

Well, I would consider it upper middle class, but when you live out in the sticks I guess it is. Lulz

I used to love driving through Harriman/Rockwood on the trek from Knoxville to Nashville.
