We’re not very much “city people”, and tend to gravitate more towards the off-the-beaten-path, remote and secluded areas whenever we have the chance. I suppose the exceptions we make would be for family! This break, we visited two cities as we visited family in Atlanta and Nashville.
This is only our second time that the four of us have visited Atlanta. Since we had a free day this time, we looked in the National Parks Passport Book to see what stamp locations were nearby. There are plenty in Georgia, but the closest were a couple of hours away from where we were staying. We’ll have to save those for another trip!
We wound up heading to Stone Mountain to spend the day. It’s neat to find a place like this in an otherwise geographically flat area. Despite how many people were on the trail to the summit with us, we never felt crowded.
After hiking up to the summit and back, we drove the loop around the mountain. We saw the train station, but it did not seem to be running today. We logged a few geocaches, including one that brought us to a covered bridge (this sort of structure seemed a little out-of-place to us here, we tend to think of these as more common in the Northeast region).
