    glad i got off that road at Valdosta last night!!! LOL it was also backed up for about 30 miles from the 285 split south of ATL. i went down US 41/19 and sailed right on by!!! LOL

    BTW, if you ever decide to cut through "the woods" MAKE SURE THE ROAD IS A HIGHLIGHTED TRUCK ROUTE!!!! I THOUGHT "AHH IT IS ONLY 6 MILES FROM 75 TO 41/19" SO I JUMPED OFF AT X-228 AND LOW And behold i had to make 3 tight turns in a little bitty town to go that six miles down a supposedly straight shot!!
