2nd best day to drive through Atlanta
We will be leaving the Georgia mountains heading back to Florida, via I-75 through Atlanta. We planned on traveling on Sunday, but there is rain predicted, so we are now thinking of either Thursday...

We had thought about leaving before the cold weather hit (it was 18 here in Blairsville this morning), but we are having a lot of trouble dragging ourselves away from this lovely area!
We must be neighbors!
Hello to Ivylog & Klueck! We are close by also! Off of Gumlog over in Towns County.
We have driven straight thru ATL several times. We find any time from 1000am to 200pm is ok to hit I75 thru downtown. And as noted earlier, pick your lane - not all the way to the right as they do magically turn in to exit only lanes and keep her steady as she goes.
If we find we are going to hit ATL during rush hour - or if the traffic reports are bad, we take I-285 around.
I am guessing that y'all take 76 down to I575 to hit I75? We have yet to take our rig across Blood Mtn or any of the other local hairpin covered hills. Although we have driven to Alaska & back twice!
Safe travels for whenever you leave. Maybe we'll run in to y'all in the RV section at WalMart!
