Papa has just gotten to Exit 218 and I am now in the room at the Holiday Inn Express. I can't tell what room due to my reputation being what it is but I can tell you that it took 1 hour 15 minutes to navigate 18 miles of Interstate Highway.
I have spoke with several people and have come up with a real plan. Go to the airport and park in long term parking. Papa has leased a helicopter that will shuttle you to your field. (Nominal fee and tip will be needed for the helicopter.)
Papa is a country boy. If I had to fight this traffic every day I would most likely pull what little is left of my hair out. |

Papa you need one of those GPS's with traffic reports built in and that will provide alternate routes...if you can find an alternate route.  |

| 18 miles in 1hr 15min. So what you're saying is that traffic was moving pretty good. Are you coming back to town for Freaknic? |

I had to leave Sandy Springs and wanted to be in Locust Grove by 7pm to catch the Iron Pigs and PTC Bats game that was played before ours. I left at 4:30p and pulled into the parking lot at Warren Holder field at 7:25p. I felt like I had already coached a double header by the time I got there....so, if anyone wants to go in that copter I may be willing to pay my fair share ;)

| Wow! - I wouldn't think the traffic would be that bad going south on Friday, but instead be going north. I hope the competition is worth it. |

Wow....tough draw DD....I feel for you, I really do. Congrats on the big wins so far....going 2-0 against teams that were picked by some to win the whole tournament is a feat in itself. I knew the C-Pool would be competitive. Nice job!
