Nothing like Hot-lanta traffic, the department of my former company is located in downtown and I'd rather been tortured then go there but thank goodness I don't have to anymore since I retired. Atlanta is like any big city be it Washington DC or Los Angeles that the times to travel through them is off rush hours. Best of all is you can travel through them in late evening.]]> Tue, 08 May 2018 21:00:04 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=108976#108976 traveling at night : However, the good thing about... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=108925#108925 Author: StephenH

However, the good thing about the 'Pod is that you just need a place to pull off (any exit that will allow access back on is good) and you have your own facilities with you. I agree that the stretch of 95 does seem rather long with not so many places to even pull off though.]]> Mon, 07 May 2018 20:47:12 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=108925#108925 traveling at night : Originally posted by SubzillaDavid....10... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=108916#108916 Author: David and Danette

I have driven through many big cities and on my list Atlanta has been the worst. But so far between those hours I have driven right through no problem, only wish Georgia had more rest areas. If I could afford it I would build more rest areas for Georgia, there should be a law that rest areas need to built on interstates at least every 50 miles. Unhappy]]> Mon, 07 May 2018 19:28:34 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=108916#108916 traveling at night : On a Monday evening in January,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=108880#108880 Author: StephenH

On a Monday evening in January, 2017 around 8:00 p.m. we went through Atlanta. We encountered very low (relatively speaking) traffic. Other times were much worse. We cruised right on through unlike other times when we crawled through.

We have been on the road after dark on a few occasions. One was on our first trip when we were trying to get to our daughter's house in time to see the Christmas program our grandchildren were in. We didn't make it. We pushed long and hard on that trip. We don't do that anymore. However, in winter when the days are short, we have not always gotten to a good stopping place before sundown. In that case, we will go on, but only until we can find a good place to stop for the night.]]> Sat, 21 Apr 2018 20:49:52 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107875#107875 traveling at night : We try to drive non interstate... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107871#107871 Author: Pod People

We try to drive non interstate during the day, but will drive on the interstate at night. We try not to drive secondary roads at night. However, sometimes you just have to keep going. Then you just go slower and have good headlights

    I am a morning person, I wake up early and go to sleep early. But when it comes to driving I prefer to drive at night less traffic, glare from sun,and heat. We travel back and forth a lot between south Florida and middle Tennessee almost all interstate driving and prefer to drive through Atlanta between 10 pm and 3 am. I grew up in Miami and dread traffic jams, I like to keep moving. Everyone is different, I think one should drive whatever time that they feel the safest.]]> Sat, 21 Apr 2018 18:57:37 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107869#107869 traveling at night : We don't mind driving at... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107865#107865 Author: Leo B

We don't mind driving at night but usually try to keep our travel days around 5-6 hours and like stopping at a KOA with a pool and hot tub!]]> Sat, 21 Apr 2018 18:28:09 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107865#107865 traveling at night : I've never hesitated to drive... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107862#107862 Author: Tars Tarkas

I've never hesitated to drive at night.  I figure that's what headlights are for.

I try to avoid night driving at all costs.  After killing 31 deer with my 94 F-150 (and that doesn't include the ones I have hit and maimed) I really dislike night driving.  With the exception of only a couple times, all deer hits/kills have been either during the night or early morning like 4:30 - 6:00 am.  This goes for hitting all the other things like coons, skunks, porcupines, oppossum, ect.  Hey, it'a a jungle out there, especially at night.  I am like Mr. Carter:  visibility is a good thing!]]> Sat, 21 Apr 2018 18:00:16 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107860#107860 traveling at night : We don't plan to do it, but... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107846#107846 Author: furpod

We don't plan to do it, but over the years we have done it a few times, accidents, emergencies, changes of plans..

So last night we were coming back from a concert.  It was about 10:30 PM and we passed a R-Pod just west of Alamogordo, NM.  This made me wonder how many tow at night?  I try not to for a number of reasons but I am curious.]]> Sat, 21 Apr 2018 10:48:47 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11443&PID=107819#107819
