I have never taken the south route. The northbound sucks.. That I 40 corridor around MEM is horrible

JetMechZ16 04-18-2019 8:39am

Whatever route you take stay away from Chattanooga, we don't need no Okies round here.

:D

More details.

Want fastest route. Transporting medically unstable elderly,
2 kitties and a dog. Will be stopping every 2 hours to prevent blood clots in grandma. Hope to get half way or better first day. Of course finding pet friendly hotel presents a challenge as well.

I-40 is what I have done before. It is the most boring drive, but I am aiming for quickness and avoidance of major Traffic/construction. Travel days will be mid week, so will try to avoid typical high traffic times in big cities.

I haven't driven all legs of that trip but I would take the South route based on proximity to big cities and shorter distance.

On the other hand, if you're carrying an elderly passenger and/or an older vehicle, you may want to stick near civilization in case either "breaks down".

The portions I've driven of that South route (Hot Rod power tours) are really pretty areas.

We'll be headed to Folly Beach (near Charleston, SC) for the weekend. We rented a big beach house for the family. Safe travels! :cert:

That is a route i have taken to bham. Traffic from dothan to ozark the rest of 231 is good. I can tell you the best way to get around montgomery later.

You need to spend time in L.A. (Lower Alabama) on your trip, so I'd say go south, young lady.
