Text on card: "Greetings from Scenic Georgia. View the breathtaking scenic beauty from the top of Amicalola Falls. Reached by GA Highways 183 and 52, about 16 miles northwest of Dawsonville. One of Georgia's "Seven Natural Wonders". The falls drops a total of 729 feet through a series of cascades. The park offers a 57-room lodge, restaurant and concession stand, camping and picnicking areas and is near the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail."
I was curious about the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and found out that it is a marked hiking trail approx. 3,510 km long of which the majority of the trail is wilderness. The trail is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, including 2,000 distinct rare, threatened, endangered, and sensitive plant and animal species. Wow. Double wow.
Before this, Georgia to me, is where Margaret Mitchell's novel, Gone With the Wind was written! And that song by Ray Charles!
♪♫"Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
The whole day through
(the whole day through)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind)"♪♫
