AAbsolute takes the same road I do. It's 316 miles door to door from East Cobb to our condo on the west end of PCB. At night the trip can be made in 4:45 with an average speed of roughly 80.

Of course, if you're busted that will add another 30 minutes to the trip...

They'll run you off the road between Columbus and the 85 connection if you're going less than 80 MPH late nights.

My quickest way to Atlanta from where we live is to not hit any red lights in town (it is possible) and to either take I-85 at 10 mph over the speed limit or go with the flow (which is usually possible and faster). Home to Neiman Marcus can be an hour with no fear of a ticket.

From SoWal I won't share all of my secrets. Basically we do Defuniak/Samson/Elba/Troy.From US 231 take a right onto Hwy 82 and a quick left@County Hwy. 85. That way you miss the Monkeytown traffic.
Travel through the beautiful cattle and horse ranches and then take a right on Waugh Road.
Get on I-85 at mile marker 16. The AL/GA state line is at mile marker 80. It starts over at 0 when you cross the 'Hooch. The Atlanta airport exit is at mile marker 70. Everything else is relative.

Hubby just negotiated the purchase of a company in Dalton. He now takes US 27 and avoids Atlanta traffic.

Hey...you stole my route except I go through Kinston. It's 6 of one half dozen of another...
