 The
first snapshot of the trip is NB I-85 in Alabama, just north of Opelika.
We stayed the night there after leaving St. Augustine at 10 p.m. |
 Gas
stop just inside the AL border. Nice old shield with the state name in
it. |
 New
state, new county, new timezone! |
 Sonny
Perdue welcomes me yet again. |

 I-185
heads south to Ft. Benning, where my mom was born. |
 I-85
widens to 6-lanes as we approach the Atlanta metropolitan area. |
 A
diagrammatic BGS for the Atlanta Bypass, I-285. |
 Approaching
GA Spur 14. Where I come from, we don't have "Spur" routes. |
 We're
about to get on I-285. |
 Here's
where I-285 splits off from I-85. |
 We're
going north on I-285 en route to Six Flags. |
 There
are a couple of signs on the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) in Illinois just like
this one. |
 I-285's
exit numbers reset at the I-85 junction. |
 Coming
up on I-20. |
 Georgia
just loves these diagram BGSs. |
 The
exit for WB I-20 is on the left of I-285. |
 Westbound
I-20. You can see the roller coasters from here! |
 More
WB I-20. |
 Look
at the fun! |
 The
day's over and we're heading back East on I-20. |
 Closing
in on downtown Atlanta. |
 Hey,
look! It's a city! |
 Coming
up on I-75 and I-85 in downtown Atlanta. |
 Not
only is Atlanta Georgia's largest city, but it is also the capital.
Here is the Capital Building. |
 Getting
off the interstate to explore the city a little bit. |
