It was supposed to rain during the night and this morning and turn cooler but it never did. We drove to Stone Mountain Georgia. Jim had never seen it and I had been here about 26 years ago with Mom, Woodie and Allen. It has changed a lot since then. They now have an amusement park attached to it and were making snow for the seasonal snow slide. This mountain has the largest granite monolith relief in the world. Carved into the side of the mountain are Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee, and General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. A 6 foot man could fit in the horse’s mouth. They have a gondola you can ride up to the top of the mountain.
After visiting Stone Mountain, we went to the American Legion Hall in Tucker and had a beer and talked to the people there. We went back to camp and I cooked dinner. Our campsite is on a lake in the 3,200 acre park. You can see the mountain and gondola from here. This is a Passport America Park. The Silverado turned over to 10,000 miles today. It has started to sprinkle at 6 pm tonight and should be cooler tomorrow. It was snowing today in the mountains of North Carolina and Virginia -- we left just in time.
