Best Route from Atlanta?

[NoHall]

That is the route I like except I would forget 165 these days. I went down last week and 431 is almost completely four laned between Phenix City and Eufaula hence the 165 advantage has waned. There is a several mile stretch of two lane but there are a couple of passing lane areas along the way.

I have never had good luck on 79 plus it seems like a long drive from I-10 to 98.

The reason I started taking 165 had nothing to do with mileage. The stretch of 431 that you skip by taking 165 is considered one of the deadliest roads in the U.S. Lots of people driving way too fast on a 4-lane without controlled access.


I want to try a new way: I-20 west to Birmingham, catch a flight with FFF...

U-Haul one way rental.

no kidding!

Ok, I've gone this way. 3 hrs +10.
331to 20, to 81 which turns into 87, in al.
to troy, left on 231 towards mont. About 30miles, right on 80, immediate left at gas station
you come to a flashing yellow, right on hy 85, about a mile to freeway.
you're at exit 16{waugh}
you're on you're way.
no easy route to I-85.
2 lane rd, but, not very busy.

Every time I give someone these directions, they get lost, and it takes them an extra hour. I've given up on it.
