Stone Mountain, GA

Spent the day at Stone Mountain, a chilly day with bright sunshine.  The area is not open until Easter but we were able to take the tram ride up to the top of the mountain.  It is pretty obvious that spring has not yet come to this place.

It was very cold up top.  Small pools of water were frozen.
