I would take I-81 to I-26 to I-40 west to US 23 which feeds into US 74. After Murphy (5 miles) take 60 south to the CG. The last 5 miles south of US 76 on 60 is a little windy but not that bad.
That sounds like a good route to me as well. I've spent lots of time in the area, but mostly on a motorcycle. Hwy 180 out of Suches (which the route will
not put you on) is the windiest road in Georgia, and until recently Suches was the home of "Two Wheels Only," a motorcycle camping resort, located there because it's in the heart of Georgia's twisty road country. Not quite as twisty as the Tail of the Dragon up in Robbinsville, but close. All of which is just a long way of warning you that the route south on Hwy 60 will have lots of turns, a few hairpin corners, and, depending on the day of the week, a fair amount of motorcycle loonies, riding around with their hair on fire. But, the route from the south is no better (maybe worse), so Hwy 60 is probably your best choice.
Have fun and let us know how it goes.
