The mountain can be seen from Kennesaw Mountain (West), Amicalola Falls State Park (North), and Mount Yonah (Northeast). Surrounding Stone Mountain is the city of Stone Mountain. On February 21, 1958 the governor of Georgia, Marvin Griffin, signed the bill which authorized Stone Mountain to become a state-run park and allowed it the authority to receive money from bonds granted by the state.

By the early 1960s, the Post had lost membership considerably and the cost of maintenance of the Legion’s 45 acre property become a financial burden. In 1966 the City of Miami purchased 37 acres of the Legion’s 45 acre property for $862,000 leaving the Legion with 8 acres where the Legion Hall was built; the new building was located south of the “Legion Park” as the property was named when became a public park for the upper eastside. Miami’s purchase money came from two federal grants and city bond funds. Congressman Claude Pepper’s bill allowed Miami to obtain funds from the Federal National Urban Renewal Act’s “Open Spaces” program that encouraged dense cities to create more “green spaces.” And so, Legion Park was born and the Post got a

There are a few reasons why Providence canyon should be named a national park. This canyon has many different types of sand and rocks with in it, which could be used for education in science. Trips could be planed by schools to take students and study the rocks that are their. Also by making it a national park tourism will be raised and the people could spend money in local businesses. Providence canyon was a dense forest before it was a canyon. Farmers in the early 1800s started growing cotton in that area, they cut all of the trees and plowed to plant seed. They planted with long straight lines, which started the events

When we got in there we went on some rides and got food. All i ate that day was panda express. And i went on the wild thing and steel venom.

Voted the second most beautiful vista in America, Mount Washington is a well-known overlook of downtown Pittsburgh. Mount Washington, now a beautiful mountain with a tree covered Cliffside, was not always known for its sights. Many are unaware of the dirty environment that it used to be.

From the ravaging coal minds to the breathtaking Inclines, there is a lot of history that is hidden under the beautiful area which we now know as Mount Washington.

The Log Cabin Republicans is an organization that helps build a more stronger union of equality, free market, individual liberty and many more . They have chosen to start this party for the sole purpose of helping to stop the intolerance towards gays and lesbians. The name Log Cabin came from President Abraham Lincoln who was born in a log cabin, so they chose to name it after him. Not only was he the inspiration for the name he was also an inspiration for the faction. The original name of the faction was “Lincoln Club” but the name was already taken by another Republican (GOP) group so they had to change it to something else. The faction was built on Abraham Lincoln's principles of Liberty and Equality.

Lee , and Jefferson Davis on top of their valuable steeds represent the Confederate nation and its tie with Stone mountain as they are carved meticulously in the world’s largest exposed granite; however, the peaceful serenity of the lake and nature that envelops the mountain and its visitors remained a very important ceremonial location for native americans.

Taking on a journey stretching well over 2,100 miles, covering fourteen states (from Maine to Georgia) by foot is no simple stroll where at the end of the day a comfortable bed and hot meal would await you. Instead, hiking the Appalachian Trail can be an endless battle with all the elements of mother nature: whereas in one state spring would have sprung already with wildflowers dressing the forest floors and insects buzzing through crisp air, on other parts of the trail it [the weather conditions] would be smothering heat, but meanwhile a few states north the rain would fall endlessly with gusts of cold wind, and snow would blanket the pathways of the trail and more than likely blizzards

There is no vanity on the AT (The Appalachian Trail) and more than some walk in the woods.  Seems like it would be just an adventure.  It started as a journey and a leap of faith to hike the entire Georgia section of the AT in less than 6 days.  Day 4 it became a transformation.  I saw less than 10 people hiking for 6 days and 90 miles.  I hiked till 7pm each day (one hour prior to sunset) and wherever the spirit led me, I set up my tent, ate my food, journaled, slept and got up at 6 am in order to be back on the trail as soon as I could see it.  Relentless steep climbs on all types of terrain and many painful descents that caused much knee pain.  Several nights totally alone in the wilderness.  Lots of praying and talking to God out loud.
