Week 74: Georgia

Stone Mountain

 There is a reason I chose a picture of Stone Mountain to represent Georgia: I have been to Stone Mountain, back when I was 14, and I vaguely remember the experience. I thought it was impressive. Recently, Stone Mountain has gotten some bad publicity because it is a celebration of the Confederacy, but unlike a statue of Robert E. Lee or Nathan Bedford Forrest, you can't just take it down, so I don't think it is going away.

I am in Donalsonville, Georgia this week, cutting through the southeast corner of the state, nowhere near Stone Mountain and already close enough to Florida that I hope to be there by next Sunday.

I passed a little milestone this week, as I am now counting down the last 100 days to Miami. Right now there are 97.5 days left.
