FYI, just heard on WSB 750AM (Boortz's flagship station) that the state patrol (or was it GADOT? one of the two) has announced that it will probably be *tomorrow* before they reopen I-75. They've got traffic rerouted (probably on US41), but you know it'll be ugly. Avoid NW GA like the plague, for now.
Oh jeez...I can just imagine what a mess that will be...gonna be a bunch of ticked off truckdrivers, that's for sure!
My sister went to school in KY, and my brother went to UT, and my other brother went to ASU (Appalachian State University)...I hated making road trips to see them. Sheesh..it always took 4 hours LONGER than it should have. ;-)
And I won't mention the time we were in Boone, NC and my father took us on a "sightseeing" tour of Grandfather Mountain. Just put it this way: the whole family is lucky to be alive....;-)
