Stone Mountain

It's always interesting when individuals find themselves befriending others completely different then themselves with different taste, style, and fitness levels. Yet, we seem to have some common thread amongst us to think we could tackle Stone Mountain.

Stone Mountain is 825 feet tall and covers 583 acres. The top of the mountain is 1,683 feet above sea level. The entire carved surface of the Memorial Carving measures three acres, larger than a football field. The carving of the three men towers 400 feet above the ground, measures 90 by 190 feet, and is recessed 42 feet into the mountain.  The Memorial Carving depicts three Confederate heroes of the Civil War: Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and Lt. General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.

The view of Atlanta, Georgia from Stone mountain is absolutely stunning.  The vastness of the world right before your very eyes is breathtaking-or it may be the altitude.  Whatever the reason, it reminds us once again at our Abba's creativity and joy He must feel when we take time to appreciate His handy work-even those who walk beside us.
