Who all is going to RTTH from or through Atlanta?

Hector/Adam and I will be leaving out Thursday if anyone
wants to meet up for the ride over.

I'll be drivin' through Atlanta on Thursday sometime late PM. Going up to Chattanooga then to Knoxville by interstate. I know it's the long way around but I don't want to get caught on the two lanes up through Cherokee through Gatlinburg. That should be very heavily traveled and slow?????? I'll be coming home that way on Tuesday but I'll be on my way home and need some scenery.

we will be taking the scenic route to pigeon forge, maybe even go on the dragon on the way over. This is most likely route I believe.

I got the best drive to PF .. I will come through the Dragon and Foothills Parkway and meet at the Mainstay and then cruise the Dragon again and then go home that way Sunday . I can't believe you would run interstate the LONG (boring!!!!) way around. I will be leaving early Friday morning . Dam I can't wait .

I think our plan is to leave around 10:00 a.m. on Thursday morning. Should put us up there mid-afternoon.

We'd love to have some buddies!!

Jeff,
Where do you pick up 411?? Just north of Cartersville? Is 411 a 4-lane highway with higher speed or a 2-lane??? It seems shorter than just interstate and would provide some scenery. I may try it.

I usually pick up 411 at I-75 , just north of Cartersville .
However , on this trip , I am picking up 411 a little further north in the city of White ..

411 is a mixture of 2-lane and 4-lane ..
It's a nice , easy paced , low traffic ride up 411.
Scenery is pretty good. ( It gets better , the further you get into the mountains )

I will be flying into Atlanta Thursday morning and headed to Cumming, GA/Vengeance Racing. I'll be leaving there to pick up my wife from the Knoxville Airport Thurs evening. Should I take the scenic route from Cumming, GA to Knoxville or stick with the highways?

From Cumming you're almost in the middle of the two routes. It will be faster to go I-75, but since you said "scenic route" then you already know that! :)

I'd vote scenic route, but I guess it just depends on your mood!

You guys gonna split just north of Atlanta and head up I-85 and do the scenic route or stick with I-75 and head up through Knoxville?
