    Dave's the man! We manage so many USFS campgrounds that were never pruned for big rigs over the years, so I am always taking my pole saw around to remove that under 14' limb that surely would be a reason for a 4-letter word. Then I chop it up and deposit it at a secret location the Ranger uses herself, LOL! -Dave

    • @WattsOnWheels
      @WattsOnWheels  Рік тому

      Funny you mention that, because we asked if we could cut them down with our pole saw and they said "no, if the Ranger heard the saw, he'd go ballistic". Go figure.

    Great review. We go there all the time. The fishing is amazing…..big stripers and spotted bass…..but boat traffic is bad on summer weekends and holidays. Favorite places to eat are Fish Tales, Pig Tales, and Pelican Pete’s (across the lake….short drive by boat).

    Last time i stayed at that campground we were in site 42. Woke up in the middle of the night to a crazy storm. Winds were so strong coming right off the lake hitting the side of the rv making it rock like crazy. It sounded like a hurricane outside. Same exact thing happened the very next night after that. It was a scary event but we still enjoy going to that campground and staying on Lake Lanier.

    • @WattsOnWheels
      @WattsOnWheels  Рік тому

      Was that in August 2 summers ago? We had 2 days of very bad storms. So many times the storms go around us, but when we get one, there is little warning and BAM we get hit. ua-cam.com/video/NHctZgo5d-c/v-deo.html
