Majestic Allatoona Dam with two equally sturdy feats of engineering on the ready - Caterpillar D80 generators providing backup solutions for the city of #Cartersville and #BartowCounty. Great to work with our #ArmyCorpOfEngineers! #USACE. (at Allatoona Dam)

State #3, Tennessee so far you've been quite good to us. How do you beat a campground this beautiful and this cheap 15 min from Nashville. #armycorpofengineers #discoveranadventure #truckcamper #gorving #rvliving #rvlife (at Poole Knobs Campground)

Today I received a message from a good friend in Montauk and I was a little thrown back when I heard what he said... To hear that the #ArmyCorpofEngineers is demolishing sections of sand dunes along the Montauk Coastline. Sections that act as natural barriers and have acted this way since forever. I've seen a recurring theme in education around this topic and it seems like the standard symptom solution.... Where we have introduced our modern living into a natural area and as @kellyslater very accurately put it, tried to "fight nature" in order to fix the disastrous symptoms caused by the initial human change. This only leads to further and further damage to the natural coastline, the natural course of our earth, and for some reason it seems as though the locals have not had a say in what happens to the coastline that they have walked most of their lives, the coastline they have surged around, the coastline they have built houses from scratch on, the coastline they love. I encourage everyone to spread this message in the hopes that it will create some influence and affect for the right reasons. Spread the news @surfer_magazine @resourcetravel @simplyadventure @wilderness_culture @nakedplanet (at Montauk, New York)

Please Share! #Repost @kellyslater ・・・ '#ArmyCorpOfEngineers is building a seawall out of sandbags and destroying the dunes in Montauk. Most experts agree that this will erode the beaches and make a big problem'. I got this message👆🏽from a friend tonight who lives up there. I personally don't know much about the project so does anyone have any more info in the region for us? I've seen the Army Corp do wonders to perfectly good beaches in the past and I can't help but think (know) that people only people who spend their lives on beaches (or any other stretch of land for that matter) watching the patterns for decades should have a say in altering it. People have a bad habit of building homes and condos near beaches that are on sand dunes and then want 'protection' from the oceans and elements. I'm not sure why humans want to control nature. It's incredible that taxpayer money gets used to protect private homes/condos from natural environmental patterns. I'm continually baffled by it but I'm assuming a little bit here as to what's going on. @surfrider, do you have any knowledge about this project? #PreserveMontauk #SaveMontauk

This place has a lot of great memories for me. My family had a house near #EastDeck when I was young and I've seen this place change over the years for good and bad. I couldn't be more upset to see this image from @letstaukgrams. Check out @letstaukgrams bio for link to sign a petition and stop this unnecessary process. Let Mother Nature do her thing. @kellyslater with @repostapp. ・・・ '#ArmyCorpOfEngineers is building a seawall out of sandbags and destroying the dunes in Montauk.
