George was known as one of the great fisherman of North Carolina. So it was, that there was to be a great fishing contest at Randleman Lake this year. As is popular among fisherman and in particular, George, the custom was to get out there early and quietly. So, while George had prepared his boat and fishing gear, he did not take into account the weight of all of that compared to his vehicle. The tire tracks tell the story of what happened to George that fateful morning. When others arrived, they saw the wreck and decided to honor George at this site. So, it has been done. When you arrive here, be sure to lift George up in honor and memory of him as well.
