Cruise the rest of the way to Florida, unload essentials when you arrive at your destination. Wind down for an hour and crawl into bed. The next day, work like the devil to set everything up again.
In time, you'll probably decide to fly down like many of us. Traffic behavior is getting worse and worse.

Dalton is a very impoverished town. I stayed at a Marriott near the University, but 1 block away is poor & nothing close to eat.
