Yes, I like the view on Google Earth. I noticed a station or lodge of some sort on top of Stone Mountain.

I think it's a station. It's been 10 years since I've been there in person.
BTW, I have located the pyramids at Giza (just go west of Giza to the edge of the desert) and even Hitler's house at Eagles Nest. Google Earth is pretty darned incredible for virtual travel.

FYI, Wikipedia often has the latitude and longitude of landmarks etc and that's a big help in locating the sights from satellite.

That is a museum and snackbar on top of Stone Mountain. It is a really beautiful place to visit, and we have picnics there every year.
