Where are the snow birds ?
Last week we traveled from the NC mountains to Florida via I26 and I95 and only saw a few RV's heading south

When is the best day/time to drive through Atlanta, Ga?
There are no best times. Honestly sometimes I think its best when traffic is busy, and you just pick a lane and go with the flow. When traffic is light they drive like maniacs. I picked my wife up at the airport about 11pm the other week, and I was running 80mph, and was passed 3-4 times by people doing probably 100mph weaving through traffic. That doesn't count the Charger that came by being chased by 5 cop cars.
You never know when you will hit construction or a wreck. Just hit it with a full tank of fuel, and an empty bladder and hope for the best :).- The last two years it was cheaper to fly. I do have a place to stay when I arrive.
- Through Atlanta best is midnight to 3am.

- We leave a couple days before Turkey day. Then family hop and get in Dec 1.

This. Drove down from PNW to AZ last week. Plenty of rv’s on the road, packed up like they’re staying a while.
If your traveling south, you won't see many other RV's doing the same. Now if you were traveling north, you would pass a lot more going the other way.
And Kanab, Page, Flag, Payson areas jammed with active rv’ers (best season there for that, of course)- If your traveling south, you won't see many other RV's doing the same. Now if you were traveling north, you would pass a lot more going the other way.
- Typically the first big wave of Snowbirds hit the road a few days after Thanksgiving. Many celebrate Christmas at Thanksgiving with families then get out of Dodge until Spring, 2nd big wave is a few days after Christmas.
- We've been in Florida since late September. Been here on Sanibel Island since the 1st of Oct. Head over to our Winter Park on the 1st of Nov.
- It's still a bit early for most snowbirds. We don't leave until after Thanksgiving and try to get to our Florida park by December 1st. Even when we get to our campground there are always plenty of empty spots. Late December and early January is when things get busier.
