While we haven't gotten into downtown Atlanta, maybe next time, we have seen a good deal of the Northern suburbs. Georgia is the first of the 13 colonies we will explore this trip. With the exception of the interstates, the roads seem to meander around the landscape rarely going due North, South, East, or West. Our memories of Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey is that the roads were built upon old wildlife or Indian trails instead of the surveyed straight lines in the later explored/developed states.
Boots’ good friend, Jean, took us up the Appalachian Mountains as to see her cabin (really a 3-story rustic abode). While the hills aren’t as high as the Chugach in Anchorage or the Canadian Rockies the roads were very curvy with little or no shoulders to pull off on. Thankfully, Jean was driving her car and we got to “white knuckle” it as passengers. With little to no passing zones, she did pull off when driveways or other available space was there to allow for the “parade” to pass us.
More on the roads in the Atlanta area - there were many roads with Peachtree in the name: Old Peachtree Road, Peachtree Industrial, Peachtree Corners, etc. etc. etc. The next most popular was Sugarloaf this and Sugarloaf that.
