After leaving South Carolina with bad weather heading in we decided to head for the southern tip of the Appalachian mountains and Chattahoochee National Forest to stay in Fort Mountain State Park. Great park if you are a goat (which we are) with its beautiful hills, lakes and vistas that span 80-miles. We took a 4 mile hike to the top of the mountain to see the remains of an ancient stone wall with prehistoric origins steeped in legend and tower. Generations of archaeologists and historians have unsuccessfully sought to unravel the riddle of the wall, one of several stone assemblages scattered throughout the southeast. More than 150 years after its discovery, with no artifacts having been found, answers still evade us as to who built the wall.
