George-
My Esteemed Friend-
I think you and Jack are fun to watch.
And did you know that his rivers flow backwards?
I think that'ws way cool.
A Loyal Neo-Anti Unionist,
Peter

(obviously not the Texas/Oklahoma one) watching the folks swim on the
Minnesota side. At that point, the Red River flows south to north as it is in
the Hudson Bay watershed (as are the Tetons). It turned out to be a pleasant
afternoon. The point is that the locals (as all of we locals are want when
out of towners are around) were more than happy to talk about the locale.

only south to north river in the country.

Nashville along Waldens Ridge to Chattanooga, where it flows east to west to
below Memphis until it flows NORTH to the Mississippi. So, I said, the
Tennesee flows NORTH also.

flow from the headwaters to where it empties. The Tennesee river flows
east to west.
