What do you find hard about saying "request flight following to Lake
Lanier
for airwork"?

I guess I could do that. But I think controllers like airports as reference
points better than otehr landmarks. And as I said, both will yield the same
result in this case because I am told to squawk VFR as soon as I leave the
class B area....
