Exit 111, as 24 briefly dips into Georgia, for one exit only ... At the top of the (blind) ramp, the GA State Troopers have a welcome-to-Georgia surprise party for you all day Thursday: a posse of car searchers, with dogs and a paddy wagon. I've seen 'em every time I've been, and was stopped in 2004. It's Georgia's only chance to get traffic from the Northeast and mid-coast.
I am from FL, but working in Memphis. There were lots of Troopers on I-40 as you enter TN from Arkansas last year....I'm heading out early and taking the back roads....avoiding the interstates, as they know all from out of State take them.....keep the speed limit (those that speed by, think of them as 'bait'....grin), and don't look like your heading to roo.
Say hey johnny boy, the battle call United we stand, divided we fall Together we are what we can't be alone We came to this country you made it our home
I didn't see ANY of these GA troopers last year...but it's always a possibility. Just play it cool as soon as you pass the river leaving Chattanooga until you get thru that brief dip into Georgia.
And the gas is MUCH cheaper there. If you get off at the Wildwood, GA exit, there are several stations with prices sometimes $.10-.15/gal cheaper than in TN. Safe travels, y'all!
For those that are coming from out of state just keep to the speed limit. Do not have Bonnaroo advertised all over your car and luggage hanging out of your windows as these are the ones that always seem to get pulled over. FYI, everyone bring plenty of mosquito repellent you will need as much as water this year. Travel safely Roo goers
When we see someone speeding past us. We always say "Thanks for saving us from being pulled over." haha Seriously people your giving the cops a reason to search you just by speed. We feel like old people driving the speed limit but I'd rather do that than be harrassed by the cops.

Over the years Ive definitely witnessed this trap mentioned above. the last two years it wasn't that bad. i think '04 was the worst cruising through there but thats the norm when following the dead, who headlined that year. could always be there, just be careful and do the posted speed limit. also pay attention to the posted speed limit, expect to see signs covered up with lower limits posted. Ive seen traps in more than one place the closer you get to the venue, be smart, be kind, be safe and karma will be your friend

Good luck all...
like a road block, or just a bunch of cops trying to harass whoever they could?
