Last week I took the I-10 to 231, etc. route. Easy way to hook up with I-65 if you're heading to anyplace north and west of Michigan. It took me no more time than normal to reach Grand Rapids. I was so happy to not endure the Atlanta mess. Have a friend who is with the Atlanta police dept and he advised the day before my departure to simply stay away because I-75 through there AND the "by-pass" are totally unpredictable. Plus, the route was more scenic and interesting.
