Moving to Georgia

[Back To Havasu]

Thanks everyone for the kind words of congrats. Yes, Jbb, I am speaking of Lake Allatoona, and it is the lake that is just minutes from my new home. Oh, and by the way, I love noisy boats, the louder the better. I'll have to go check out the other lakes everyone mentioned. Sounds awesome not to have 5 hour drives to havi or Vegas, (although I love both havi & mead).

I'm so fricken jealous of the fact that you have a nice big lake 10 minutes from your house. The 5 hour drive too and from Havi does suck!
Good luck to you and the wife.

Well peeps, the wife and I are moving to Georgia. After living here in Cali all our lives, we started visiting Georgia when my wife's daughter and son and their spouses moved there. We loved it, and took the equity from our Corona home and paid cash for a 4,500 sq. ft. home there, ten minutes from a Havasu sized lake in a wooded area. It's a little scary to leave what we know behind, but Acworth, Georgia (45 miles NW of Atlanta) seems like a boater's paradise, (humidity and all). Take care all, and will be lurking on the boards from Georgia from now on, ya'll...BTH.
You'll have to trailer your boat up the Chattanooga. Miles and miles of lakes / river and very few boats.

Great place to live. We lived on the NE side for 7 years before returning to TX. Really miss Lanier. Lanier's pretty much full pool year round. Lots of coves and islands, deep lake with few obstructions. Great place to go fast....Alatoona is great in the summer. Hartwell, Keowee, Chattanooga, and more easily within couple hours.
Cocktaill Cove at Lanier Islands is the place to be in the summer. Checkout Cocktail Cove.com http://www.cocktailcove.com/
and hook up with "Freddie" the mayor at the Cove. Freddie runs a Miami Vice Scarab duplicate. The "Abyss" is an 80' houseboat with a constant party going on the weekends attracting a "crowd". Cove generally has 500 plus boats on the weekend with plenty of everything.
Good luck and have fun....
