trip advice

I would go straight up 331. The road is pretty good...recently paved I think and passing lanes. It's a nice drive.

We've never taken any road to Montgomery except 331, mainly because it brings us through Luverne, home of Annie's Bar-b-que. Best ribs and southern food for miles and miles around. Watch for the big yellow signs and come hungry!!

anyone have any advice about traveling from SRB to Montgomery? Specifically, would you take US 331, or go through Andalusia and take I-65 into Montgomery?
Thanks

To borrow a phrase from my mother--it's six of one, half a dozen of another. At least 331 is more scenic.

Totally agree, I took every possible route in the last 4 months and none of them are great.

331 is probably a few miles shorter but if you get behind someone going 45 in the areas where you can't pass then it ends up being longer in time.

331 to Defuniak. Hang a right on 90. Go to the top of the hill. Left on 83. Take it till it dead ends into 52 west of Samson. Turn left. Turn right on 189 in Kinston. Pick up 87 in Elba and take it to Troy. From there, 231 to Montgomery.

Can do it in about 2 hours 15 minutes tops...

Thanks for sharing this. We always take 231 from Montgomery to Dothan, when we drive to Orlando and I have been wondering if there was some good way to get over to 331.

I appreciate the info.

331 all the way baybay. I like that route with the little towns and Annie's. get a sweet tea for the road after lunch of meat & 3.

these are my old stomping grounds.

Singinchicken has it right! We have lived from M'gomry to the beach and it is the quickest hands down.

Thanks Everyone!

I have heard of S.Chicken's route for ages, but I'm too scatterbrained and easily distracted (Oh look- a Cardinal at the bird feeder!) to do that. Needless to say I've been delightfully lost a few times.

I use the KISS Method. (Keep It Simple Sistah!), 331 straight up and back. I've even managed to mess THAT up, but not as bad.

Goodwitch....I make this route monthly and the easiest route for me is 331 to FLorala then continue on 55 and get on I65 in Georgianna. 331 has downtown traffic and stop lights and speed changes. Less traffic on 55 then a 4 lane in Andalusia and a speed limit of 65 almost all the way to Georgianna. 2.5 hours to Montgomery. Gitty Up and Go gas stations in Andalusia also have the BEST gas prices.
