Georgia's high point is on Grandfather Mountain at
6,366 feet and Mount Mitchell is the highest point in the Appalachian
Mountains, where the Continental Divide is located. BUT 4 miles west,
in the Duluth, Georgia Town Green, there is a monument marking the
Eastern Continental Divide that shows where the watershed drains.
The Eastern Continental Divide runs through Atlanta,
downtown Duluth, Norcross and other cities on its way from Pennsylvania
to Florida and demarcates the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico watersheds.
If water falls on the east side of the divide it eventually runs into
the Atlantic Ocean, whereas water falling on the west side flows into
the Gulf of Mexico.
The base of Duluth’s marker shows which sides
the water will flow toward.

Georgia.

Below: The only
restaurant still open a this time as the "Good Word Brewing and
Public House, 3085 Main Street in Duluth, Georgia. The food was overcooked.
The manager talked Karen into re-ordering and she did, but it was still
terrible food. The bar was the busiest place on this date. No, they
would never eat here again. |
