My front yard

Post by frazoo »

Falls coming to Virginia, not much color this year, too dry, but still pretty nice. Lake is approx. 47 acres. Used to be 96' deep but in 1995 we had what the scientists called a "millenial flood event" and washed much of the mountain down into the lake, depth now around 55'.

A front yard like that has to be good for the soul 8) If mine looked that nice I'd never get anything done. That's beautiful Frazoo :!:

Beautiful! If my front yard looked like that I'd have an excuse to build a whole fleet of boats, for every conceivable purpose! (like Spokaloo!) :D :D :D

In Loch Ness, the name is Nessie.
In Lake Champlain , NY, the name is Champ.
In a lake in Virginia, I suppose the name would be Ginny. :)

Hey Frazzoo,
What lake is that? I'm on the other side of the bay. We don't have hills like that on Virginia's Beautiful Eastern Shore. I miss them.
Happy Building,

Brent

It's called Sugar Hollow. Local history/legend says it got its name from all the sugar hauled in to the mountain streams to make moonshine in years past.

When I am on the bay, I miss the mountains and when I am home I miss the bay. Go figure :roll:
