The lame part about working within the nuclear weapons complex is that I will never be able to talk about my work with my friends, family, and certainly not here. So.... my trip to Y-12 was.... interesting. I did stuff, things happened, and I learned a lot. And we all gave 110%.

I managed to look pathetic enough going out to eat by myself on Thursday night that the wait staff invited me to come hang out with them at some Knoxville bar. There's nothing quite as exciting as haning out in a bar with people who are all talking about their mutual friends who you don't know and will never meet. Wh00t.

The one thing I did that was both interesting and not classified was a visit to Lost Sea Cave in Sweetwater, TN. It hosts the largest underground lake in America. And it is definitely big. The lake's surface area is quoted as four acres. You hike through the cave for about 400m to get to the lake, then get in this glass-bottom boat and tool around in the lake for awhile, looking at the rainbow trout that they've stocked it with. I've got some pictures of the fish; I'll post them as soon as I can.
