Road Trip to Camak Stone

April 13, 2013: The family is in Athens today watching a track meet and I am off to see a Camak Stone or at least a new version of the stone.  This stone marks the corner of Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Because James Camak surveyed the 35th Parallel incorrect this spot is actually a mile farther south than it should be. In the 21st Century this has become a big issue for Georgia because of the surveying error  the Tennessee River does not enter Georgia.

I visited 13 graveyards and catalogued and logged 12 geocaches in Walker and Dade Counties in Georgia, DeKalb and Jackson Counties in Alabama, and in Marion County, Tennessee.
