This unexpected gem contains a rather neat bit of trivia:

Wildcat Mountain, with an elevation of 3,760 feet, has the dubious distinction of being the highest peak in White County, Georgia, but not the highest point in the county. The boundary line between White County and Towns County bisects Tray Mountain, but leaves the summit of the mountain in Towns County. Thus, the upper elevations of Tray Mountain falling within White County at nearly 4430 feet rob the summit of Wildcat Mountain of the title “highest point in White County.” Wildcat Mountain is within the borders of the Chattahoochee National Forest.

It strikes me as somewhat odd that anyone would give a rat’s ass about what the highest peak/point in a county is, but then I come from a part of the world where counties don’t really have any importance aside from some bureaucratic taxation and bylaw boundaries. Obviously it means more to some people, like them Duke boys, but still: bickering over the highest peak in the county? Puh-leez.

It is time to be succinct and to the point:

Wildcat Mountain: pwn3d.
