Good morning FOOFs
Richard, I hope you have a safe trip today to Sevierville. I learned last Friday that I might not be able to leave early on the 18th to head north. I had planned to leave around lunch time to drive to Tifton, Ga for the night. I might have to work much later into the day than I'd like. I am showing it's about a 4 1/2 hour drive (without traffic) but going through Tampa around 5pm is painful. The traffic is really bad on I75 until you get 10+ miles north of Tampa. Good Lord willing and the creak don't rise, we will be leaving on Friday afternoon. I plan on getting up early Saturday and heading the rest of the way to Riverside. I am debating on whether to drive through Atlanta or go around. It's been 10 years since I drove to Atlanta and I went around last time. I thought the traffic was just as bad going around. We will probably be hitting downtown Atlanta around 9:30-10AM on Saturday so hopefully the traffic won't be as bad.
Looking forward to seeing many of you on Saturday.
