Final Route Plan

And Driving Directions

Our departure point will be from the Golden Pantry / Shell Station on Jefferson Highway and Whitehead Road at 0730 Friday morning. The weather forecast for Friday includes a 30% chance of afternoon showers; don’t forget rain suits.

The route will be direct to Gainesville on route 129 where we will take a break at Alta Vista Cemetery,  General Longstreet’s gravesite for a brief memorial service suitable to his achievements throughout the war and specifically at Chickamauga. We’ll ask David to show us the way.

After a break we'll head north past Brenau on route 60 to Dahlonega, then Route 9-19-60 northwest to Woody's Gap as previously.

Will probably stop for lunch near Elijay or sooner.
