Yeah, you're probably right that there's still hope here and there.

But the Diocese of Atlanta is done. Finished. Dead. The one remaining orthodox congregation is elderly and dwindling, and they lost their long-time rector (the bishop finally wore him down) and have an interim. I don't know if they'll even be able to find somebody to call. And they're an urban parish (in a neighborhood with lots of aging hippies, gays, and punks) so I don't know if there's any future in it.

I think most of our "high" Anglicans have already lateraled to the Catholics.

Your description probably fits a number of dioceses.

Interestingly, the first Episcopalian I saw go to Rome was not high-church at all, but very low-church evangelical.

And some of our "high" Anglicans are going to the Continuing churches as well. Just a couple of weeks ago a couple formally transferred their membership from ECUSA to our parish, and several others have joined us over the past few months.
