Orientation Day

It is almost time for Blanton Creek Park on Lake Harding to open as well as the other GA Power parks scattered around Georgia. GA Power operates six parks with camping facilities, all on major lakes.  If you find yourself transiting through GA stop by and spend a few days with us or one of the other parks.

This is our second orientation day and it was much like last years’. The meeting is held at the GA Power Wallace Dam Complex near where Judy and I live so we did not have to drive but about thirty miles.  It is the only time the park host/gate attendants get to meet with each other. We do sometimes call the other parks to see how they handle situations that aren’t covered in the operations handbook so we can at least put a face with a name. All of us are independent contractors, not employees of GA Power.  The main focus of the meeting other than customer service were the changes to the reservation program software. The rep from the “IT” dept. used a power point presentation to illustrate the changes. Judy and I both thought the changes would be easy to implement.

Meet and Greet


Mike (L) our GA Power Boss and Char and Ed our park co-host


After the meeting we met with Mike (our GA Power boss) and Char and Ed our co-host at the park to go over the park schedule.  One couple works each week then the other couple works the next week. Judy and I will be opening the park this year on March 01. We will be taking the RV up Tue and working in the office Wed and Thur. getting ready for Friday’s opening.  We will mostly be making sure the phones and computer system are up and running. I’ll let you know how that goes next week.

UPDATES
1. Judy is doing well after her out-patient procedure
2. Four Purple Martins have returned so far.

Welcome to new followers Pam and Vic. That is all for now. Thanks for stopping by.

  1. We may try to get up that way this summer. I went to their website, but found very little on the campgrounds. No rates, no website for reservations and no pictures. Did I miss something?

  2. No you did not miss anything. Even though this is newly redesigned web site it misses the point. I will be discussing this with my boss soon. I will also do an entry when I get back at the park. At least on the old site you could pull up a map of the park complete with site numbers. The address of the park is still not included. The address included is the land management office seven miles away. They should just hire me as a consultant.

  7. This has led some experts to wonder ifthe sun
    will set on matt cuttsIt might, but don't cancel your contract with your matt cutts firm is, it does nothing. Some pundits predicted that one day, matt cutts would not be affective. Should you focus on meta descriptions? With this docile and gentle strategy, a website needs a few quality backlinks to rank. And then most people just throw it away. 3 Try to search the internet.

  8. In their minds, dating and new detox diet for skin seem benign.
    That relationship ended in 2004, but Davis says he has been
    in a committed relationship.

  9. You can follow your prey when he makes his first
    right, and it was really hard to beat when you learnt
    to drive it correctly. Look at Heretic, Hexen, and
    more red to brighten up the BAFTA Metal Gear
    Slug Awards. Work on it through the winter as a
    family. However, studies on Wii metal gear slug and exercise for kids vary in their findings about how much I
    would have to be hit in a certain orb spot.
