BOSTON - With the state facing a $3 billion deficit, Massachusetts lawmakers are considering selling corporate sponsors the naming rights to parks and forests, including the Walden Woods immortalized by Henry David Thoreau.

Got me to thinking of what we could do here in Georgia. Let's put our head together and come up with new names! I'll start it off:

Fort Yargo State Park = RC & Moon Pie Dental Floss Park

(Yeah, I know that's lame . . .)

See ya on the hunt!

Amicalola Falls SP = Ted Turner SP
Black Rock Mtn. SP = Ted Turner SP
Bobby Brown SP = Ted Turner SP
Cloudland Canyon SP = Ted Turner SP

and on and on...

Would they all be known as "The Ted"?

I thought it would be
Turner Falls SP
Turner's Rock Mtn. SP
Ted Turner SP
Turner Canyon SP

But he is busy buying Montana soon to be named Ted's Place.

Some parks would seem to invite corporate sponsorship.

Red Top Mountain is an obvious choice for Red Roof Inn.

Consider General Coffee State Park near Nicholls. One would think that the likes of Maxwell House and Folgers would be all over each other to get to it. Similarly, Hamburg State Park (near Mitchell) would be fought over by McDonalds and Burger King.

Does anyone have any thoughts on these:
Mistletoe State Park (near Appling)
Skidaway Island State Park
Travellers Rest Historic Site (near Toccoa)

Charmin's Skidaway Island State Park....I know..I need to grow up.

Hehe! How about Port-O-Let Travelers Rest Historic Site? Yeah, I've got some growing up too . . .

See ya on the hunt!

Very few of these topics ever get rated, but I just gave this one a 5!
You all are so funny!

Indian Springs SP could be taken by one of the bottle watered companies...
Poland Spings SP
Turner is also buying up New Mexico we drove through his land all thats there is a road and some buffalo and some mountains but its sure is beautiful out there.

Happy Hunting!
