Victory!!! Thanks to everyone for their advice and well wishes. 29 hrs total...wasn't really that bad!

Just crossed the MI line, another 100 miles to go!

Caught a nap in the bed of the truck, ready to push on! 30 miles south of Cin, OH

2353, half way through TN and she's running strong!

Straight up 75. Stopped north of Atlanta for a nasty storm. Have got a seeping rear axle seal were keeping an eye on

I have heard that. Actually not too bad heat wise. I'm afraid we'll be hitting Atlanta at the tail end of rush hour though!

After about a 4 hr delay getting started just had our first stop for gas in ga, do far so good!

She's all ready for the trip! Adventure starts first thing tomorrow morning. After discussions here I think I'll try taking 75 all the way north. Thx again to everyone for the advice! Curt

Would love to help out but I'll be flying back. Good gouge about the pillow!:D

Sounds like the consensous is if trying Atlanta at all the loop is the best of the bad options. I seem to have 3 choices available...the shortest drive for me means the most mountain driving...add 50 miles to that and I take my chances with Atlanta...add 150 miles and I can skip both. Great...

So you did go through Atlanta then? How bad was it getting around that mess?

Appreciate the offer! Headed to the little town of Lyons, about halfway between Lansing and GR. Going to leave the truck there with my family for the time being since I won't have room for it at my next duty station.

Disregard my last, I see where it is now. Did you go up 95 and then cut over on 26/40 to pick up 75?

How was it getting around Atlanta? Where is Jellico, GA/TN?

Getting ready to start what will HOPEFULLY be a great adventure with my big brother. As the Navy has decided it's time again for a move I'll be driving my '71 M35A2 and M105 from Jacksonville FL to Central MI. I've learned a lot and enjoyed reading about other roadtrip adventures on SS so...
