As an update, I took the 65/231/10 route and it provided a pleasant and relaxed driving experience. I divided it into two legs and camped overnight at Deer Run RV Park in Troy, Alabama. It's a small park with a variety of trailers, 5th wheels and Motorhomes as seasonal and short stay residents. The hosts were pleasant and the price for a level, gravel pull through was $35. Like Harvest Moon, a popcorn maker is located behind the front desk and a bag is provided at check in.
I only hit one parking lot 17 miles outside of Jacksonville that was a result of a nasty accident. I think it was a good decision to avoid the Atlanta area at least until they get their traffic patterns under control.
