That's a good alternative. Only about 40 miles longer if that.

Another nice ride is stay on I-65 down to Montgomery and take US 241 down through Dothan to I-10 across to I-75 or if you are in no particular hurry take the back roads across. This is a nice route if your timing is such that you want to avoid Atlanta in rush hour.
