From Cleveland GA to Blairsville GA US 129 climbs up to Neals Gap and is very steep and winding. We do not use that road, even when not towing. An alternative route is to go through Dawsonvlle GA and through "Apple Valley" to GA 5/515 just north of Elijay. you can then go to Blue Ridge and on to Blairsville. This route is about 14 miles longer but is faster and avoids any steep grades. lizzie
