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 ...

I've given up on Atlanta. Whether I go through or around Atlanta, construction is happening. Its not Atlanta's fault, they're trying to deal with increased volumes. So now, from Cincinnati, I cut over to I-71S to Nashville, then I-65S to Mobile, AL. and then I-10E to pick up I-75S again if I'm headed to the Gulf coast or further east to I-95S in Jacksonville if I'm headed to the Atlantic coast. It adds about 300 miles to the trip, but my sanity remains intact.
One year, I was already in a CG near Cape Canaveral, watching the news. Jacksonville had a freak snow storm. Road crews were trying to deal with it by spreading sand on the bridge approaches - using shovels. Then it dawned on me that Florida cities don't have salt barns or the machinery to deal with ice and snow on the roads, but they have lots of sand. Rush hour was a mess.
