Went to Stone Mountain Park with Bryan and Kim Sunday afternoon/evening...it's the 2nd largest outcrop of granite in the Country,and 3rd largest monolith in the world. It stands nearly 900' above ground (1683' above sea level) but only 10% of the rock is visible, the other 90% being sub-terrainian. It has a lot of history, mainly dealing with the site being the second coming of the Klan in 1915. The carvings on the face of the rock are of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and "Stonewall" Jackson, all 3 revered men of the Confederacy. Though times have changed in America, and in Georgia and the South in particular, from time to time there is a rise in the rhetoric about the carving. It is a legacy, I guess, the South will bear for generations to come still. In the Summer, large numbers of folks gather on the park grounds in front of the carving, and when it gets dark they shoot laser lights on it and they "come alive" and a little story of the Civil War is portrayed. The ending comes during the playing of Elvis Presley's "Trilogy" and in the end Robert E. Lee breaks his sword over his knee...it's fun to watch the kids and their amazement to see the horses rear up and come alive in greens and reds and other colors of the laser. The rock has a pond that encircles it and folks ride "paddle wheel" small boats around it. You can take a tram up to the top, walk a trail up to the top (lots of folks do that for the Easter Sunrise Service given each year on the top of the rock), or a combination of the two.
