[/ATTACH] Savoy.

140 East a gem. 140 West at 775 a clusterfluck 3 mile backup.

VW outside of Rome, Ga. LOTS of Churches in northwest Georgia. Seems like winter. 45 degrees. Overnight in Gainesville, Ga. Likely Helen tomorrow. Christmas in Savanah planned. 3 nights.

I haven't kept up with all of your planned details, but you're going to drive by some of the Dukes of Hazzard sites aren't you? At least outside the courthouse, the creek jump site, and if you made it out to the Duke farm that would be awesome.

Here are the location addresses (I've researched this before and am posting the link and the info shown at the link):

unfortunately, the Duke farm house is no longer standing, but the 2 chimneys are. Here are views of what it looked like then and now.

39 degrees. Full blown winter. Bare dead trees. No Palms. Looks like northeastern Pennsylvania. If weather is your priority, it’s not Northern Georgia.

Dennis, how's the Mrs doing with all of this seat time? Everything A-OK?
Thanks for all of your trip posts - I get to live through your eyes since you have time to travel and I don't. Good recon for when I make it back there again.

Merry Christmas to you and Linda

Best pictures always missed. Signs that say “Church. Should say “Churches everywhere. Along with Dollar General. Savanah Gray Line Tour. Amazing City. A few bad shots. The Church sign is where MLK gave the FIRST I-have a dream speech. It was 60 degrees but locals think it’s cold.
