[at-l] Good places to see meteors in GA?

[nd-turtle@home.com (Howard D. Lyons, Sr.)]

Now you have hit the idea, meteor shower AND the aurora borealis.  Come to
North Dakota (I know you said N.Ga.).  The other day we had a fantastic
display of the lights, and we expect an view of the meteor shower
unobstructed by mountains, lights from populated areas, etc.  The
population is dwindling and the mountain removal project was completed
years ago.
