Friday

Today was our last day in North Georgia because we had to get back for prom tomorrow. We had stayed up late last night so we woke up around eleven o'clock this morning. About an our after we woke up at the McMurtrie's lake house we got a surprise visit. While I was in the shower James was cooking breakfast on the stove. When I got out of the shower I saw a visibly confused James. While he was cooking, a man walked up from the basement stairs and into the living room, startling James. The man looked to be about seventy and had on old clothes. Eventually the man introduced himself as Bob McMurtrie, Jack's grandfather. James did not know Bob before this so their interaction was awkward and quick. After recovering from Bob we packed up our stuff and headed back to Atlanta. Before we left we spent some time trying to capture a good shot of Lake Nottley which turned out to be a lot harder than it might seem. See, Lake Nottley's water level was still extremely low meaning we couldn't get a shot of the lake without twelve feet of shoreline in it. After continuing to struggle we gave up, called it at day, and headed back to Atlanta. We didn't want to leave our trash at their house so we strapped it to my roof, figuring that we would find a dumpster close to their house to leave it in. Twenty frustrating miles later we finally found a dumpster in a literal dump. So it turned out that we drove around while not seeing one dumpster for half an hour until we saw all the dumpsters. The rest of the drive was business as usual with me driving and James sleeping. We got back to Atlanta around four o'clock for what should be the last our our project this week.
