I have lived in the Atlanta area

for over 25 years. The worst part of the drive is from Macon to downtown Atlanta. It can get slow. It is best to try to hit downtown Atlanta before 3:00 PM. Once inside the city,take I 20 west to Birmingham. Another option is to hit I 285 west before you get to downtown Atlanta. That will take you around the city and you can hit I 20 west from there.

From my time in Mobile, Alabama drivers are in no rush compared to others. ** -- MikeVT85 07/08/2021 2:09PM

Thanks. I think I am going to avoid ATL and take 10W to 231 N into Bama ** -- OrlandoHokie 07/08/2021 1:55PM

Be careful on 231N, it is notorious for speed traps. ** -- BusLoadaBozos 07/08/2021 4:03PM

If you time it right you can view the polyester in full bloom. ** -- BusLoadaBozos 07/08/2021 7:41PM

Maybe longer, but a better bet to avoid ATL. 75 N totally sucks. ** -- banishedtothelounge 07/08/2021 2:58PM

Ya can't get there from there ** -- bigbadbird 07/08/2021 11:55AM

Well ain't this place a geographical oddity. 2 weeks from everywhere. ** -- HokieGator 07/08/2021 12:10PM

I-10. I'd avoid Atlanta. No one that I know around here would jet over to -- ElbertoHokie 07/08/2021 11:51AM

Agree. I-10 is not bad from that direction. I would avoid ATL ** -- DallasHokie98 07/08/2021 10:39PM

Also could go local to Dothan then up to Montgomery and drive I-65 up to -- ElbertoHokie 07/08/2021 11:53AM

You could do 75 to about Tifton and then cut through Columbus & Auburn -- s.mill hokie 07/08/2021 11:32AM

This gets my vote - I've done this route -- HokieMacDaddy 07/08/2021 11:38AM

Avoid the ATL at all costs. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/08/2021 11:26AM

Correct. Only question that needed to be asked. ** -- TomTurkey 07/08/2021 11:28AM
