I have never tried your route through Atlanta, will look into that. We take 81 - 77 - 26 - 95 - 295 - 10 - 301 (never had a ticket knocking on wood as I type).
AJB - your point on the winter storms is well taken. That is a factor to be considered. Of course, sometimes when 81/77/85 gets snow the 95 corridor gets ice. If I have those options, I'll take my chances on the snow....
