[QUOTE=sewnonnie;530457Have one question for everyone to think about. To get out of Conyers, Covington, I20 is the fastest. I can have us on the freeway for about 15 miles to get off at GA Hwy 11, or we can take a route thru Covington that has several lights and stops.[/QUOTE]

Never mind I20. I think I found a way around Covington/Conyers that will work. Keith and I did the trip in the "cage" today to check it out. In case you have a GPS, this is what I have planned:


Leaving MMS - turn right onto Iris Drive (frontage road). After crossing GA 20/138 stay right on Old Salem Rd. Turn left on Flat Shoals, cross Salem Rd (GA 162). Turn left on Iris drive. Stay on Iris Drive to Crowell Rd. Turn right. Crowell road becomes the Covington Bypass.

Covington Bypass to GA 36. Right on GA 36. Stay on GA 36 about 10 miles and then bear left onto GA 212. GA 16 joins GA 212 about 13 miles later, just before entering Monticello. After leaving Monticello (GA 212 bears to the right) we will stay on GA 16 through Eatonton and Sparta (if we need gas this is the last place to get it), We will continue on GA 16 to the Jewell Box on the left in Jewell, GA. We can also gas up and take a short break in MOnticello if everyone needs to stretch.

We will come back on GA 16 to GA 212 and into Covington/Conyers on GA 212. We will cross over GA 138 and turn right on Smyrna Rd. Right on Flat Shoals Rd, Left on Parker Rd, right at the first light, right onto Iris Drive and MMS will be on the right.
