You're ready to face Atlanta in that condition. Used to be a joke about how to drive in Charleston, SC.; Either drive drunk or drive like you're drunk.I used to enjoy CO and WY, but can honestly say I don't give a flying flip if I ever make it out that way ever again. Beautiful scenery, but nothing but a tourist and $ trap if I've ever seen one.
Disclaimer: I'm 3-1/2 sheets to the wind right now, so take it as you will.
From my experience and what friends that live in the area tell me, at 65 mph you should have been in the emergency lane.Anyone ever travel in the Atlanta area pulling a 24ft horse trailer? I did yesterday. Hopefully never again. 5 lanes of crazy running 65 mph.
My Ex is from Conyers..she can drive through Atlanta with the best of them..I always let her drive when we got too Cartersville..hate Atlanta,even more now..it's the new California ..Anyone ever travel in the Atlanta area pulling a 24ft horse trailer? I did yesterday. Hopefully never again. 5 lanes of crazy running 65 mph.
I can drive from Texas to Florida in the amount of time it takes to drive thru Florida. It's the most miserable part of the trip. In Texas you will get run over driving slow in the left lane but it's obviously not like that every where. In Florida they will clog the whole freeway, maybe 4 or 5 lanes, up driving below the speed limit. Then on the opposite end you have people driving like total idiots switching lanes and cutting thru people because if it. I never realized the importance of right lane left lane deal until then.Add the Orlando, Fla area to the list for miserable bad traffic. Most major roads here are now toll roads that's adds $10 - $20 to your daily travel expenses and you still have to deal with heavy traffic, long delays, and creeps cutting you off, panic stops, or escape and evade crashes in front of you. It seems Orlando has become the minority capital of the world with most not even speaking English. Every square inch of the old Florida wilderness areas, pastures, and orange groves are being bulldozed and cleared replaced with concrete, asphalt, roads, housing projects, condos, and shopping malls. We would like to escape this madness but don't know where to go.

You are very right about that 4 hour window. When I was stationed at Fort Benning, they would not let us go on leave until midnight. That would have me hitting Atlanta about 1:30 AM and it was smooth sailing then.. There is generally a 4 hour window for safe travel in Atlanta - midnight to 4 am. Rest is crazy, especially 6am to 9 am. There is no good route around Atlanta.
It's always suspicious that Atlanta's votes are always the last ones to come inRemember that the Atlanta area has recently largely determined the short term future for the country. It is a nightmare in more ways than one.
Bring back some sunshine!Just entered Florida. The secret to Atlanta is go through at 1am looks like.
Long Dark Winter remember? It's what you voted for.Bring back some sunshine!
