It's a great scenic route with a lot less traffic.

Anyone taking the I-575 route North of Atlanta or other directiosn want to meet up for a mini run?
Mickey 5469/Ella Lynn and Larskeller/LarsBabe and possibly one other Crossfire Owner are are meeting On Thursday afternoon somewhere near the intersectionJust north of the Georgia line where US 129 intersects with US 64/74. My map shows Ga 60 turning north off Ga 515/US 76 around Morganton and after about 2 miles Ga 60S turns right and goes to US64/74 just before the intersection with US 129. Got to be something at that intersection lets shoot for 3 to 3:30 and first one there pick a spot to meet.
Anyone coming that way text me at 4042455481 if you want to meet up and run to the Lodge and/or other points North.

Please take it easy ,I hope you will be able to make the trip.Big hugs

You might consider our route, it's pretty and once you get off on I575 traffic is no longer a problem. It's only about 15 miles less - but sure seems to be quicker (you go thru no actual town after Canton, GA)..
