If you look up on a clear day you will likely see man-made clouds somewhere in the sky, trailing behind jet aircraft high up in the atmosphere. Contrails, short for condensation trails, are formed from the water vapor in aircraft exhaust as a byproduct of fuel combustion. Natural clouds form the same process of water vapor condensing in cool air as it rises, so technically contrails are clouds, just from an unnatural source.

MURFREESBORO, TN— The Tennessee Cattlemen’s Association (TCA) and Tennessee Cattlemen’s Youth Association (TCYA) recognized over 35 youth members for their success in the seventh year of the Tennessee’s Top Tier sponsored by Merck Animal Health points program. The winners were recognized at the TCA Youth Awards Banquet sponsored by Kubota Tractor Corporation, held in January at the Lane Agri-Park in Murfreesboro.

Some people would say: “What are the chances of that happening?” But there’s another phrase that is more apt for me: “If you were trying to do it, you wouldn’t be able to do it.”

We had not been in Tennessee very long and there was so much to do. The place was in terrible shape. We walked behind the log cabin to see what had to be done there. What a shock. The ground had a steep slope down to the road. That wouldn't do. But the worse sight was the jumble stumps and stones just behind the cabin wall. That had to come out!

Line a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with foil, having long sides extend 2 inches over sides of pan. Spray with cooking spray. Sift dry cake mix, if lumpy. In mixing bowl, combine cake mix, Cool Whip and egg. Beat with mixer until well blended. Batter will be stiff. Add white chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Mix well. Spread in prepared pan. Bake at 350 F. for about 25 minutes in preheated oven or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan, use foil handles to lift brownies from pan before cutting into bars. Makes 24 bars.

Join Ranger Holly Frerichs for an overnight experience in the backcountry of Norris Dam State Park on April 12-13. This is a beginner-friendly workshop for women where we will learn best practices for overnight camping and some survival tactics. The hike to the campsite is four moderate miles in and the same route back out. This workshop is open to women and girls 15 and older. Minors must have an adult or guardian present on the trip.

We will meet at 1 p.m. to check off the gear list and pack up everyone's bags, then hit the trail.
