I love your little "animations" ... very unique :-) So do two TCs pay a single rate in the pull-thru sites ?

Hello Yoly! No we did have to pay twice but it was certainly worth it. I forget the price but maybe $35 a night which was the most I remember paying anywhere. It was $35 at GoldBluffs Beach as well. Hey Yoly, I'm from Gainesville GA and my Father helped survey for Lake Lanier before it was there .I still kick him for not buying lake front property at pennies an acre or some such low prices way back then. Ah well, I still love it and miss it. We have 100 acre farm still in the family out east of Gainesville. See ya Yoly.

We're right down the road (Hwy 53) from Gainesville and you would have been a multi-millionaire had you invested in lake property, or for that matter any property up this way. We moved here in 1990 when there was nothing up here. There was a stop sign at GA400 and Hwy 53 and a single gas station. We were so fortunate that we got here before the "boom" and able to buy the first house we ever owned. After the Olympics in 96, this area expanded exponentially. We used to have to drive down to Cumming to get groceries and Alpharetta for building supplies. Now our little intersection is surrounded by everything under the sun. I have an old VHS tape I made in 1992 driving down GA400 on our way to the office in Duluth at that time. You see less than 10 cars traveling in both directions all the way to Cumming. Today, it's bumper to bumper crawling traffic. I've got tons of drone videos on our channel flying over the lake ... it's still really beautiful. Of course we owned boats for about 20 years but decided to swap out for RVs several years ago :)
