From Nashville area
I-65 south to Georgiana, exit #114
US-31 to ALA-55 to Andulusia and on to Florala, where you pick up US-331

That route seems to have less traffic, plus has cheap gas in super walmart in Andulusia and at Gitty-up-n-go
Shhh!!! You are letting out the best kept secret!
 
Mermaid - heard you all had a great time partying with the Funn's. I hope to meet some of you the next time you all are down. Maybe the reason whiteyfunn didn't want me to come is because my last name is "Dudd" - I like to go to sleep early!!! I'm getting up when she is coming in!!!

Sounds like me and GTTBD. We would definitely be part of the zzzzzzzz-team. Good meal, a few cocktails, good company, good night! Mermaid and Merman are to be commended!:clap_1:

This is exactly the route we take from Huntsville....
 
When we go to Sowal, we fly into Bham and drive south--we get off at Greenville, route 10 to 331, and thru Opp. There's a Barbeque place in Opp that makes a good stop for a quick lunch (and gives us our barbeque fix, since New York has no clue about this culinary treat.)

But a question to y'all who take the Georgiana route: has anyone ever stopped at the Hank Williams birthplace and Museum?? I'm an historian, and love country music, but getting my family to stop at these sorts of venues requires a certain amount of arm-twisting (they don't all share my love of this music, and usually we're terribly anxious to get to the beach, or to get back to Bham for the flight home).

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.

Skip

I take this one as well, except I take 79 off of I-10 and it drops you right into PC. I find that faster to get to the Rosemary, Seacrest side of 30a.

Better than that (if you want to go the Columbus/Dothan route), take I-10 and get off at Ponce DeLeon and go south. Then you miss much of the backed up traffic on 331 through Freeport. Hang a right when you get to Highway 20, and a left at 331. There's also a back way that circumvents Freeport totally after you hit 20, but right now the names of the roads escape me. You come out at 331 where the old Chevron used to be, you know, close to the bridge.
 
the last few times when it was raining really bad I noticed (I was driving and we were dragging the boat so that may have made a difference as well) a lot of hydroplaning on 331 - the heavy trucks have worn parallel dips, no, more like trenches, into the asphalt that fill up with water pretty badly - could just be my new truck, too

anyway be careful on 331 if it's raining - scoot across and take 231 to enterprise or wherever - better longer and slower than upside down and not-quite-dead

since we're sharing routes - here's ours (from mississippi)
4-7-9-14 43-84-331
when I just can't take it any more, I start chanting it - it works too!
