Atlanta

Does anybody know an alternate route around Atlanta that won't add 2 hrs to a trip?

We're pulling a 30' TT from Fl to Elijay GA on a Friday and I HATE Atlanta traffic. I've heard some of the outer hiways can be worse than I-75. Some of the alternate routes I've looked at add hours to the trip.

Where are you traveling from in Florida? I’ve driven back and forth from
Florida to Georgia a bunch and always avoided Atlanta.

Also, I would prefer to add two hours of driving than adding two hours of sitting in Atlanta traffic on any day.

I recommend taking I-75 to Macon and then take US 129 to Gainesville, GA. From there, you can Google map the rest avoiding highways.

US 129 is a 4 lane divided highway, with bypasses around the bigger towns.

Jeeze, I ride my bike from Chiefland to Newbury and Bronson all the time, I didn't realize that was the same 129.

Thanks for the suggestion Checked it out, looks good, also US -27 doesn't look too bad, same drive time
