Geocache Description:

Atlanta - Challenge
Cache inside Stone Mountain Park.
Park Closes at midnight.

We have gathered on top of Stone Mountain for today's challenge. Rising to a height of 1,683 feet above sea level; roughly 650-750 feet above the surrounding Georgia Piedmont, we can see great views of the surrounding Atlanta Area. Stone Mountain is visible from Kennesaw Mountain to the west, Amicalola Falls State Park to the north and Mount Yonah to the northeast. It is the worlds largest exposed piece of granite and one of the largest monoliths in the world. There is a small entrance fee to enter the park $8.00 per vehicle, but there is lots to do in the park and it will be money well spent.

Today we are playing to see how well you know Atlanta, this challenge is for Reward.

When you signed up for the Atlanta Challenge you received an information packet about Atlanta, with the information from that packet you should be able to answer the following questions. With all the questions correctly answered you will then fill in the blanks to find the final coordinates and the Reward challenge. If you misplaced your book or it was lost in the mail don't worry, the world wide web is a great place to find answers.
