I beleive Jake's Landing was it. We had a house on Old Cherokee road in
Lexington when I was with NCR there. I really miss the pace of Columbia
as compaired to Atlanta. Columbia ia a nice laid back place and has nice
weather.. ahhh but life moved us on once again. :-)

Wow... small world. I used to live just off Old Cherokee Rd. We
liked the west end of the lake, so we kept the boat at Southshore
Marina on Hwy 378, down at the double bridges going toward the traffic
circle.

Now we live in the Corley Mill Rd. area, so Jake's is closer.

And I work with a bunch of ex-NCR people. We hired them as our
business expanded over the last few years, and they were looking for
work.

I would trade Atlanta for Columbia anyday, But times change as you well
know. I figured sooner or later I was going to be one of those ex-NCR
people looking for work there. Thus I landed a job in Atlanta and moved on.

Besides Murry, you got the Saluda there and that is a nice river to
float. We ran it once from just behind the dam to Radio lane. Very nice
and peacefull. Of course you have to be wary that they might increase
the water out of the dam at any time. It was strange to be in-town and
have such a relaxing river to run. There are a few places you had to be
careful due to some shallow rocky areas. But heck the only thing we saw
before we spotted the I26 bridge at Radio lane was a water intake for
some plant. All the rest was wooded or farm land.
