On the Road at the Speed of Mike S01E12 - Georgia

My first stop in Georgia was Toccoa Falls at Toccoa Falls University. This is a actually a really good waterfall and it's easily accessible through the campus parking lot and visitor center. The School Bus Graveyard was an unplanned stop I just happened to be passing and it's one of the post apocalyptic looking roadside gems you always hope to stumble upon. Next up was Stone Mountain just outside of Atlanta. Entry is $20 which is not worth it, you can actually walk or bike into the park for free if you park outside of it's perimeter, I failed to mention this in the video. The giant stone the park is centered on is interesting and along the lines of Ulur/Ayers Rock, Sigiriya or Devil's Tower geologically, but smaller. It's somewhat controversial because of the confederate memorial sculpted into it's main faces depicting Jefferson Davis, Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Hiking up to the top is relatively easy and there is a gondola for those less inclined to hike an incline. The park features several other attraction relating to southern culture and outdoor activities. Atlanta was the last stop for the day and state. I wasn't expecting a lot but appreaciated the vibe and layout. Top sites were the Atlanta Aquarium, Coca Cola World Museum, Centennial Olympic Park and the CNN Headquarters.
