What route to take from Nashville

Re: What Highway to take to get there

When we were moving from Tennessee to here, we ended up going two round trips and a one way trip through the Georgeana-Andalusia-Florala route.

Generally a good route during daylight hours, but we had a seriously Deliverance moment invloving a U-Haul, the only gas station in Andalusia open after 10 pm that sold diesel, and a guy with Rottweilers chained to the bed of his pick-up truck who was smoking while he pumped gas.

Welcome wagon for the Redneck Riviera perhaps? Ahhh...America isn't she great?

Way to go GB. You just let the whole world know about the extra secret way to get here!!

I believe the correct way is to take 331 all the way from Montgomery.

Not the whole world, just 1,483 of us

OK, then......I think you get off somewhere just past Birmingham & take a lot of back roads til you get to the FL state line, right ???

Duuudes and dudettes, if you'd seen where we were living in Tennessee, you'd suspect the Rednecks were saying their last goodbyes. I mean a really small, really isloated place where you'd meet people who were pro-Klan.

Some people and some places just will never peacefully coexist in a million years. That was us and Martin.

Exactly. With a detour to Texas. ;-)

Re: What Highway to take to get there

yep, we've learned to stay on the highway for a while past Montgomery instead of getting off at Montgomery. We go through Georgiana, Andalusia, Florala & get there quicker because the highways have less traffic.

Yes, what Grayton said....that is how we come down......

Re: What Highway to take to get there

331 is getting better...but coming from Tennessee, I'd try both ways (331 at Montgomery vs. Georgiana/Andalusia) to see which one is a better fit for you and your family. Either one will be better than 231.

There is also a way to turn off in Andalusia and come down thru Baker to Crestview, but I am not very familiar with that route.

Re: What Highway to take to get there

Thank you all so much! this has really helped. I think we will try the route to Georgiana, Anadalusia and Florala. We may end up in Pensacola, but if we do we can just turn left.

Thanks, again.

Just be sure to watch your speed in Georgianna...the local police are usually hanging out looking for speeders. I've known several folks who've been ticketed when passing through the area!

Re: What Highway to take to get there

GB the the rest of the Otters are correct. The Georgiana, Anadalusia and Florala route is the best and not much traffic. I travel it often to Atlanta. Montgomery to HWY 98 is only 3 hours including stops for dogs, and people. Anadulusia is a good stop for gas at the Wal-Mart. Thanks for giving away our top secret route.
