Today started out a little rough. We headed from LaGrange, Georgia to Stone Mountain Village to find the start box for the Stone Mountain walk in a bakery. Unfortunately, the bakery was closed due to a son's graduation in Florida. Hm. Well, these things happen occasionally. We went on to Stone Mountain anyway and looked around. The South still mourns the Confederacy there. Ray an I both have been here before, but now it's considerably built up as a tourist attraction. It's a great place for kids and is really set up for them. There's a laser light show on the mountain at night. We didn't stay.

We pushed on to Columbia, South Carolina. While we drove, I checked out hotels and restaurants on TripAdvisor and RoadNinja. By the time we checked in, we were able to go start the walk at a downtown hotel, stopping along the way at the Carolina Ale House for dinner. We had a lovely after dinner walk (finished the volkswalk) along the Congaree River. Very nice, if a lot humid and quite warm.
Seven states down, two to go.
