    Hartwell Dam is a concrete and embankment dam located on the Savannah River at the border of South…read moreCarolina and Georgia. When construction on the dam began in 1955, it formed Lake Hartwell. Downriver from here is the city of Augusta. The concrete and earth structure spans nearly three miles long, rising 204 feet above the riverbed at its apex. The dam produces 467 million Killowatt hours of electricity annually (by comparison, the Cowans Ford dam near Charlotte https://www.yelp.com/biz/cowans-ford-hydro-station-stanley?hrid=oG_nu67k8wR0NPzhhylQgQ generates 350 million Kilowatt hours. There is a visitor center but it is closed right now (July 2020) because of the pandemic. However, there is parking (and a basic restroom) on the Georgia side of the river, downstream from the dam. A bunch of folks were fishing and seemed to be doing well. [Review 13640 overall, 959 of 2020, number 331 in Georgia.]

    A nice Ahhhhhhh moment getaway!…read more Nestled amidst the greenery of Northern Georgia is the concrete and earthen dam, circa 1962. We enjoyed the serene quiet, with only the lulling sounds of the water passing through the electrical generating turbines. Swirling commotion that oddly soothes. Whether just a day trip, do a little fishing trip or camp a night or two trip this place has it all. Away from the big city and little city alike.

    THE FAMILY REUNION WORKSHOP!…read more My husband I recently attended a family reunion workshop sponsored by the Alpharetta Convention and Visitor's Bureau (ACVB). It was held at the Marriott in Alpharetta and our presenter was Hala Shell. Our next family reunion will be in the Atlanta area in 2019 and we wanted to get some information regarding the planning and organizational process. Although we are not the primary organizers, we will be offering input and support. After attending a recent reunion, I definitely saw some areas that needed more attention. I think that people largely forget about the children attending and making sure that they have their own agenda. I'm sure they don't want to be sitting around listening to a bunch of adults and seniors reminiscing about the past and feeling excluded. These reunions are a great opportunity for kids to learn about their history and family connections. We also wanted to see more visuals that reflected the family tree and its branches with a way for everyone to easily identify their place on the tree. Finally, I thought that the reunion should have been better structured so that people weren't just drawn to familiar faces but would be encouraged, (through the use of games and ice breakers) to get to know new attendees as well. If you are involved in the planning of an upcoming reunion, you may want to consider some of these ideas. This workshop was great for providing information on the specific details (confirming a date, securing housing, addressing finances, deciding on specific vendors etc), that need to be addressed. It also helped to identify 'free" resources and support offered by the ACVB, and pin-pointed primary considerations to be addressed, (location, communication, number of days, advanced notification), as you begin to plan your reunion. Since this workshop was Alpharetta specific, much of the information promoted local resources and activities. However, the reunion planning guide is very well prepared and a great resource for plannning a reunion anywhere. We were pleased that we took the time to attend this event because it was very helpful. We would like to thank the Marriott for being a perfect host site, providing a nice continental breakfast and delicious lunch. We were even able to tour a couple of the hotel rooms in order to see what was available. I understand that they will be offering another workshop in April so if you are interested in attending, give Hala a holla!
