Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve….it is almost time for Santa to bring all the good little boy and girl anglers of the world all their fishing wishes. What will Santa bring you? The Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division offered an early Christmas present to trout anglers who frequent the Buford Dam area, a nice trout […]
Cool ways to catch the eye of passerby’s…
Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner? We hope that you each get to enjoy some holi-days off to spend time with family and friends, and of course, get out and do a little fishing. We have had several new entries of folks completing their Georgia Bass Slam – congrats to all […]
Some days you just need a break from the “busy-ness” of the season. Those are the times that it is so refreshing to visit a small town, where the calmness is soothing. I always expect that someone in the neighborhood will notice an unfamiliar car, so I never get a way without a good conversation with a local.
Without a lot of rules from Home owners associations and ordinances it’s likely you’ll get to see some creativity at the holidays along with a variety of age and style of homes.
Embraced by the community are the corner churches and a “Holy water” well
The streets are named after Rivers in the Southeastern USA….
This small community is on the Ogeechee River in Effingham County Georgia just west of Savannah. It has an easy access to Interstate 95 or Interstate 16. The train track is active and I imagine that the folks here can set their clocks to it. There at not any restaurants, lodging or shopping but you can stop up the road in Eden (US Hwy 80) for “southern smoked elegance” at Mamaw’s http://www.mamawsbbq.com
Every home on every street is different, and each one has the special touch of the occupants. I doubt you’ll ever have to fight off the tourist crowds but if you’re out and about just for a moment of peace I think you’ll like it.
In the center of town is park dedicated to the residents of a train accident in 1959. Although this caused hurt to so many, the residents today share their faith and happiness in harmony for all to cherish.

He noted that he was working on a similar project and that it seemed our paths had often crisscrossed. Since […]

Brrrrr…. If you find yourself with an impromptu “snow day” this weekend – it might be just the spare time you need to head out to the fishing hole (as long as the roads are safe!). But first, let’s all be sure we have dug our proper layering garments out before you head out to any […]
*Giveaway opportunity at bottom of page!* Thousands of Georgians will take to the roads this holiday season, but the increase of traffic shouldn’t be the only travel concern. In 2016, there was a 1 in 126 chance of hitting a deer in Georgia according to State Farm insurance: http://bit.ly/2ACsCal. Most collisions occur between October and […]
