Driving though and need someplace to stop and spend the day. Where would you stop? Atlanta, GA or Montgomery. AL Montgomery would make the last leg of the trip somewhat shorter, so based on that alone I’m leaning towards there. Never been to either city though, anyone ever visit them? ---

[QUOTE=ultradriver10000;1461284]Any good places you know to stay? Where are the nice areas? PM me if you want to. Stone Mountain area/Stonecrest. its right off 20. Huge shopping mall and tons of resturants. how long are you staying over? There are a ton of things to do DT like the coca cola factory, aquarium, zoo and CNN tour among other things. You could even swing by the mountain for a laser show. ---

Well we are going from Buffalo to Gettysburg for the first night, then we are going to the outer banks in NC for a week. From there we are heading to someplace down south between NC and Houston. I was thinking between those two cities. N/O is way too close to Houston to be a stop though. ---

> [@dreid](#): > > that drive isnt bad lol. I do it by myself straight with 4 other ppl sleep. Oh dont get me wrong, I do it a few times a year. It still blows sitting there wasting my time for 14-15 hours straight, haha. Coca Cola factory is a cool one, Aquarium is ok but costs a few $. CNN, Zoo, downtown in general. Much more than one nights worth of stuff to do though. ---
