History is what it is; and the antebellum period is an important part of Georgia's history. A "Plantation" near the base of Stone Mountain is a collection of pre-civil war buildings that have been moved to the site and set up like a little village. The Dickey House is stunning. Because of so many other things going on, we limited our visit to the one home. So we missed the farm animals, various outbuildings and the "four holer necessary house."

Out Our Window - RV at Stone Mountain Park

Silver Back Cuda

Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, Georgia, is magical. We're camping in a virtual four star resort. Two golf courses, choice of nice restaurants, history, geology, fun, scenery, boating, and fishing. Bicyclers are here in droves. Family activities include mini golf, a train ride around the mountain and an incredible high top "Sky Hike"course” with kids in harnesses attached to a zip line. November is great here. No crowds, other than 6,145 fourth graders and their chaperones here on a field trip on Friday. The students are learning so much from a Native American cultural celebration and colorful Pow Wow, here through Sunday. The natural beauty of this massive granite outcropping can be compared with Ayer's Rock in Australia. The foliage is splendid. The reflection in the lake surrounding the mountain doubles the view. Georgia history is on ... read more
