Imagine a beautiful man-made reservoir…we have one in Georgia called West Point Lake. It is located mostly in west-central Georgia on the Chattahoochee River and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is a small Lake – only about 34 miles long and 3 miles wide – yet magnificent. The purposes of the reservoir are to provide flood control, hydroelectric power, and water storage. Check out some of our images from a recent visit.
Coming out of what seemed like a long hibernation, my husband and I decided it was time to take a day trip. Didn’t matter where…the goal was simply to go somewhere. And so we did. Leaving East Atlanta, we soon found ourselves on Interstate 85 South. Our first stop was in a small town called Hogansville, Georgia – about 56 miles from Atlanta. The city of Hogansville is proud of its many architecturally and historically significant properties, including an outdoor amphitheater, train depot, the Royal Theater, and the Grand Hotel. Friendly merchants with a love of history offer antiques, vintage lighting and hardware, primitive furniture, old tools, industrial salvage, authentic signs, bottles, pottery, consignment clothing, used books and locally roasted coffee. Take a look at some images from our trip to this very charming town.
