CLOUDLAND CANYON is one our favorite GA State Parks. What one does usually gets followed real soon by all the other locations. The high country of GA ALA SC NC TN and VA are all in close proximity of each other and have some of the best East side US camp grounds around...
Moving money shells around always looks like a good deal when put on paper. One of our high dollar electric bills for a govt owned radar operation ran about $60K a month from the local power company. Then the govt comes along and says we must privatize all of this. Now some post office box company in another state won the Govt electric contract bid and charges $130K a month now for the same service. They still buy the electric service from the same local power company for 60K a month and we still call the same power company folks when we need service. But now we pay over double the cost for electricity and have never laid eyes on the Post Office Box company. We still invite the same local electric company folks to our annual picnics.
Blows my mind how all of the this is saving monies...
