Hi I'm Wes Freeman the last man alive to have help put the carving on the mountain. I want to thank you for the video. It gives people a better look at the carving and it's size and releaf from the mountain you don't get from down below. Again thank you for the video. If you have never been out to Stone Mountain please go.

Thank you for sharing your talents and dedication in creating the carving. Stone Mountain is my hometown, and my family has had a presence down there for at least a couple of generations.

I love Stone Mountain! We had a ball there. So much for family’s to do. Real 5 mile train ride around the mountain, cable tram to the top or you can walk it, shopping, food, play park and museum. Don’t forget the laser show and fireworks! Such great history.

Shout out from 2020 when crazy folks are calling for the bas relief monument to be torn down, good luck with that. Been there handfuls of times, always so much fun! That "walk up trail" is the centerpiece of the experience. I like the backside of the mountain (Off trail, I don't recommend for most people. There are no fences, and you're not supposed to be there. Shhhh don't tell anyone) I have many good memories from my visits there. If you do go on the backside you might run across my own monument that I built out of loose stones laying around.

I grew up watching the carving being made, every summer my dad would take us and we would camp and explore, NO one ever complained it was a racist place, the flew the American Flag and the battle flag of the Confederate Army in memory of those that died not being racist. I believe in all my soul we should leave everything as it is. if we tear down all the monuments we are NO better than the ISIS was in what they did. We must learn lessons from history not destroy it or bury it.

@@satidog I would bet you have never seen it or been there to enjoy the features. You just judge it because it has confederate generals that were US born citizens and were all brilliant minded men. You are the racist simply put, You fear the past, so you think we should destroy it. U must be a member of ISIS or BLM they are the same. Read your history and learn from it, dont be afraid of its past. Great Place to visit and camp and hike and just have fun. And no the generals wont come and haunt you.

@@mjbr1010 U.S. born citizens who tried to destroy the U.S. because our constitution doesn't have any specific language to protect the institution of slavery. I'm not afraid of the past or of ghosts. I study the past because I want our country to get better today. It's possible I know more about the men portrayed on the mountain than you do. They're interesting people in our history. I even know some of what each did in the Mexican War, let alone their records in the Civil War. But they shouldn't be honored as heroes in this country. People have been using Confederate heroes and symbols to perpetuate white supremacy in this country since the Confederacy was formed. Seeing that end in my lifetime is a hope and a goal. As an American.

Leaving politics aside, it's really unfortunate that the natural beauty of stone mountain has been marred by the carving. I'm not just talking about the sculpture, but the jagged oval area around the sculpture. The rest of the mountain has graceful cures carved by eons of rainfall except for the area blasted out of the rock by man. If they ever do get rid of the sculpture I hope they try to restore the face to a more natural looking state and not replace it with another ideologcal image.

the Ga State Parks do not allow drones on any of their properties....so you go to a place near by that is privately owned or as he said public property... the rules says you can not take off or land a drone on park property ...the air space above it is public between 100-500 foot
