NE Ohio (dover) to Panama City beach

Hello everyone. July 19 we hit the road to Panama City beach. Every other trip south Ive used 77. this will be first time heading west of Columbus with fifth wheel. Any advice on routes? Ive already been told to bypass Cincy using 275 because of bridge work. Also planning on staying near Athens AL. either campground or Walmart.....depends if we want ac when we sleep. thanks again!

    What other routes are you considering? When planning routes, I've found real time traffic apps very helpful.

    You're going to want AC if you're going to be in AL in July. It's hot and humid.
    Here's a link to the Allstays list of campgrounds in Athens, AL
