Are you near lakes or the gulf?:cool:

I am near lakes, closest lakes are Lake Oconee, Lake Lanier, and Lake Hartwell, where Clemson University is. I moved from Connecticut, for a job promotion, I really like it down here.

Welcome south! I am about 30 miles from you. Hope you have setteled in.
If I can help with anything, feel free to contact me. I stay busy with work and enjoy working on the boat as time allows. What does your company do?
Lanier is busy and at times, rough but pretty lake IMO. About an hour from you.

Yup....err...I mean nope.

RoadtripSE talked about this a long time ago. Said the worst part of
the trip from MI to 1K Isles was the wall to wall traffic on the 401
across the top of Toronto.

I would have to plan my bust out carefully. Were I to succeed, I
would need property on the other side. Would need a real estate
pro.

I'd be afraid.....very, very afraid.

Welcome to the neighborhood. I am in Macon just south of you. Don't forget Lake Sinclair, nice lake too.

We spend quite a bit of time on Lake Alatoona as well.

Welcome to Ga., you'll love everything but the traffic...I've been here in the Atlanta area ( off and on..mostly on) since 80. People are friendly, the weather is good for about 10 months out of 12..which "ain't all bad".

North end of Lanier isn't QUITE as busy, I also enjoy Allatoona since I live over on that side. If you get the chance, lots of Great Water around Chattanooga as well. Tennessee River runs right through the city, with Lake Chickamonga above the damn, and Nickajack Lake below, with about 20-30 miles of River between them....It's some of my favorite water, colors in the fall make the trip really special, very navigable.

Regards and again,Welcome

Guys sorry for the late response, I have been working on the house for the past 2 days and took work off, so no internet access. Sweet 16, I appreciate the offer and may take you up on that help sometime, would be good to meet some members down here as well, I was working in Lawrenceville the other day. As for the question, of what my company does we make Checkweighers, or highspeed scales, so we weigh product as its moving, company headquarters are in Germany, but US headquarters are in Snellville GA. Chrome, I would love to go up there with you, just passed Hartwell the other day coming back from Gaffney SC, Nestle is one of my customers up there. Topsy are 100% correct on the traffic thing its a pain in the a#* Texan, Macon is not far, still trying to get my bearings down here. Topsy, I agree I was up in Knoxville about 2 weeks ago and the Tenn. River is real nice, poped over to the SeaRay plant, just wanted to take a look, big plant, and I guess that is not the only one. Boxy, I will let you know about the dates I will be in Canada, and remember what I told you, when the US runs out of trees, you guys are next. Thanks for the Responses guys, I will keep posting of the progress, maybe have everyone over for some :beer: Later guys from the the guy formally known as the Rat, now known as the Damn Yankee Rat now.
