I don't have any memories of Lake Martin but I sure have a lot of Lake Rabun and Lake Lanier. One is especially vivid. When I was about 15 or 16 my uncle bought an old cabin on Lake Lanier. When the lake was impounded in '57 It had been moved up the hill from an old Ga. Power camp on the river. It was three rooms and had no window sashes only roll down canvas on the openings. One day while he, his daughter and I were painting the exterior Lakemomt green the owner of the next cabin parked his '49 tourqoise plymouth in the steep drive. Before he had walked 10 feet the car began to roll. With wild shouting and cussing he gave hot but useless pursuit. The car didn't stop until it hit the lake 50 vertical feet below. What a site! What a memory.
