Your Best Driving Routes to Seagrove???

[pk305]

I still think we could save driving time....we take 331 from Montgomery.

What are your recommended routes from ATLANTA and also from NASHVILLE??
THANKS!!

We took the "alternate" route last summer, instead of 331 out of Montgomery. We stayed on I-65 for a bit, then got off at Georgiana, then to Andalusia- can't remember the name of the road. Our friends we on 331. We were traveling together, but split off at this point. Traffic was light on the alternate and we were cookin', but our friends soundly beat us to Florala. We went back home on 331 since there were more stops for small kids and it didn't save us any time.

We use 331 as well. I find that WHEN we're on the road has more to do with travel time than WHAT road we travel. We try to avoid being in the big cities when it's not rush hour. There's nothing worse than being stuck in Birmingham--so close to the beach when you're coming from Indy--and sitting with the daily commuters on 65.

Beach Runner has a pretty nifty route to the beach from Atlanta.

Unfortunately, since I posted it, so many people use it that now it has traffic, as opposed to in the past when we hardly ever saw a car on parts of that route.

We have tried everyone's shortcuts, etc.. The best route for us into Seagrove (not Rosemary or PC) is 85, 185, 80, 431, 165 ?, 431 again, I10, 331, 98, 395.
321 miles from our house in Midtown.

What are your recommended routes from ATLANTA

To east side of 30-A:
Atl--> Phenix City --> 431 to Dothan --> Hwy 109 (becomes 77) --> Hwy 20 to Ebro --> 79 --> 98 --> 30a

It's about 5 (rolling) hours this way.
431 looks like it will be completely four-laned by this summer.
