Stone Mountain Park - Atlanta

Stone Mountain has a sky tram and Duck boats and a train and a farm and a village or something like that and a town square sort of thing with shops. They have DSA (Designated Smoking Areas). You can see them blowing glass and making candy, and there is a blacksmith. The train is half an hour. There are some caches there, too, at least 4 or 5 that shouldn't be too hard to get; one looks like it's in the parking lot. They have hiking trails that I seriously doubt we will have time for. All day passes are $25 (adults) and $20 (children), but they have a "twilight rate" of $15.
