We were up early and out the door of the Hampton Inn - Louisville/Brook at 8 a.m.
RAIN AND MORE RAIN. TRUCKS AND MORE TRUCKS.
Took I-65 South to I-24 East. Not far from I-75, the next highway on the way to Atlanta - big tie up. We're in the mountains and there is a backup for miles! See an Exit I-59 South and head for it. Stop at Trenton, GA (not NJ) for lunch at McDonalds and to look at a map. Tried calling Georgia 511 for information - got Tennessee 511 and they show no problem on I-24! Really???
Decided to take 136 through the Chatahoocha National Forest. Real mountain driving - Terry does a great job with the twists and turns. Gypsy II (our GPS) gets us to I-75.
After 9 hours on the road (we stop a lot). Finally arrive at the Hyatt Place Hotel in Atlanta and go to Sweet Tomato for dinner and are now relaxing. Soon Marilyn has to call into the Township to participate in the board meeting.
