Heading South From Indiana to FL AVOID ATL
I wil be heading south on I-65 headed to Bonita Springs FL. I want to avoid and take the path of least resistance thru or around Atlanta. Suggestions. I will probably stop at DeSoto State Park ...

Make it easy for yourself. When you get around Indy, pick up 37 to Bloomington then hiway 45 to 58. Get on the new I-69 at the 58/231 junction. Cross river to Henderson Ky where it is a good place to take a break. Follow Breathitt Parkway to I-24. Good fuel stops at the Clarksville exits off I-24. There is much less traffic all the way to I-24. I normally take I-65 to Montgomery then go over to Dothan and pick up 19/98 in Florida to connect I-75 further south.
Much less truck traffic and traffic in general. It will add about 90 miles to your trip but you will have less grey hair at the end of the day. I have done Atlanta during the night, day and rush hour in the bypass or straight through. Once had a guy try to squeeze between my motorhome and toad. He was honking and shaking his fist at the imaginary driver in the toad. Very rude guy in the toad.
