Riding 441 through Georgia
The wife and are planning a ride to Crystal River, Fl next month from east Tennessee, plan on going down thru North Carolina and on to Florida on 441.
Looking for info on the road and good place to visit on the way. Plan on doing 3-400 miles a day as time is not an issue.

Rt 441S out of TN/through GA into FL is a descent/non-slab/yet fairly direct route with a good mix of scenery/accommodations... You will have no trouble finding gas/food/hotels/sights while avoiding Atlanta... I assume that YOU know when/where to get off Rt 441... Just South of High Spings, FL you'll get on Rt 45S, then 41S to Williston and there get on Rt 121S to Rt 19S and your in Crystal River, FL...
OR; Just South of Douglas, GA in Pearson you could take Rt 221 to Rt 129 to Rt 51 to Rt 19 but I think the above route is more scenic...
BTW... It's HOT down here already... May hit 100* Friday... Be COOL man...
Have a safe trip... See you in Central FL perhaps...
