Chattanooga, TN to Gainesville, GA

Go east from Chattanooga on US 64. You will go through the Ocoee Gorge but it is not a problem if you drive carefully. At Ducktown, TN turn right onto TN 68 and continue south into GA. At McCaysville, TN 68 becomes GA 5. Continue to Blue Ridge and turn right at the intersection of US 76. This a four-lane highway. Just north of Ellijay, turn east on GA 52 and continue through what we call "Apple Valley". At the intersection of GA 52 and GA 183, bear right onto 183 and follow it to where it merges with GA 53 and goes to Dawsonville. Outside Dawsonville continue on 53 to Gainesville. This sounds complicated but it really isn't and these are good roads with gentle curves and no mountain grades. The most difficult part is the Ocoee Gorge. lizzie
