Nice. I haven't been to Stone mountain. I'm up in Ellijay. Plenty of mountains here, but not like that!

Will do. Mentioned it to the wife and she said, "Take me." Sounds like a plan. Only an hour and a half drive.

All most hate to mention this but here goes anyway.

Inspired by D. W. Griffith's silent film Birth of a Nation (which romanticized the earlier heyday of the Klan), William Simmons, a minister and organizer for fraternal associations, planned induction ceremonies to take place a week before the movie's opening in Atlanta. The ceremonies were intended to arouse the KKK from its forty-year dormancy in Georgia. Simmons secured an official charter from the state of Georgia, and on Thanksgiving evening of 1915, he and sixteen other members of the new KKK ignited a flaming cross atop Stone Mountain. The second Klan went on to attract about 5 million supporters by the early 1920s.
