Someone earlier this year posted this work-around and we used it coming home in September. Stayed overnight in Madison, had dinner in their town square and took a pleasant walk in the area. It was so nice to avoid Atlanta area and traffic.
Here's the route that was suggested (North to South):
Take your regular route south to Columbia, SC. Turn west to I-20 to Augusta. Continue west towards Atlanta. Get off at Madison, Georgia. Have lunch in Madison. It's a beautiful town. Turn south on 441/ 129. You can go cross country to I-75 avoiding Atlanta or south to Milledgeville and west on I-16 to Macon and meet up with I-75 south. Madison/Eatonton/Milledgeville is part of the Georgia Antebellum trail. Lovely towns and homes to meander through.
