Little did the planners of this giant man made Lake know, that they were creating a playgound for the twenty first century to enjoy to the level it has grown too. The Lake draws people from all over the USA to live here. I am sure the the orginial planners were thinking inside the box as we say today. They were creating a water playgound for the people in the Carolinas. When I came here for the first time in the mid nineteen eighties, they disliked all outsiders especially from the ones from the North. I perservered, determined to get the locals to work with me and to like me. I remember my boss saying, you will not make it here as a commission salesman. One year later we had grow the company from five employees to fifteen and were working Saturdays and Sundays. Now almost twenty years later, I chuckle to think of how much the area has grow and to the extent the mine set has changed. When I do come accross a narrow minded throw back to twenth century they call me friend.
