I like fla-gypsy route pretty well. 84 through GA is almost like interstate except without the traffic and only a few traffic lights. Recently traveled 84 cross most of GA and was surprised at how many miles of open road there was.

I can get you off I-95 for those miles in SC if you want to take some country back roads. Not quick traveling, but nice if you enjoy the slow way. They are in pretty good shape and I've traveled most of them before. Where 17 joins I95, get on the frontage road down to Morgan Dollar Rd, right on 278, left on 462, right on321, the finally left on 119. Basically, Coosewatchie to Garnett. 119 runs down through Ft Stewart in GA and you can pick up 84 in Hinesville, GA.

Down near Waycross, GA you could take a few mile detour over to Laura S Walker state park for a relaxing night or two. This would be about 228 miles from Charleston, so an easy day. Will actually recommend any of the GA state parks.

Any idea how many miles the detour around I-95 would add? Thanks for that detail BTW. I love traveling the less crowded loads and loathe Interstate highways. My wife has become a pretty good navigator with a map once she figures out which way north is. LOL
