Wonder About that Amicalola Wonder

For some reason, the San Jose (CA) Mercury News has printed a McLatchy-Tribune News Service piece by Mary Ann Anderson on 5 February 2007 touting the fact that 'Georgia Has its Own Seven Natural Wonders.' I suppose, though, that people in Georgia already know this and that it's the Californians who need to learn about it, hence the article.

ANYway, one of these wonders is the Amicalola Falls which is, of course, in the state park of the same name which, in turn, is where northbound hikers find the southern end of the Appalachian Trail.

The list, in case you were wondering, "came about when state librarian Ella May Thornton of the Georgia State Library in Atlanta compiled the first list of Georgia's natural wonders in response to an inquiry by a journalist." Gotta love those state librarians!
