Re: [gatortalk] OT - Atlanta traffic?

Zeb was right in a general way. I would have Taken I-26 to Columbia, I-77
to I 81. The only bad traffic would be Charlotte but as long as you
avoided rush hour, it is not bad, especially if you can take the HOV.
Alternatively, there are a lot of rural roads in Georgia that you can make
pretty good time. The same is true in Florida if you know where. When I
go to our house in Florida (Crystal River) from Pennsylvania, I take US 1,
SR 15, back to US1, then 301 in Callahan down to near Ocala. I am only on
I-75 for about two exits. As I get older, I enjoy the country roads so
much more. Yes, there are some small towns you have to go through but may
have a Walmart and you can¹t beat their bathrooms for a quick pit stop.
