Where are we on Highway 41? Take a look

When last we were on the Highway 41 end-to-end trek, we were in the outer skirts of Atlanta, Georgia. Now we move closer.


Highway 41 crossing Old Milner Road (near Milner). Note railroad tracks.




Next, the Highway 41 and U.S. 19 intersection near Griffin, Georgia. This is actually the intersection of two great U.S. highways; U.S. 19 starts just south of St. Petersburg, Florida on the southern shore of Tampa Bay (north of Bradenton) and ends near Erie, Pennsylvania, while Highway 41 is the famous highway that this series of posts is traveling on. And perhaps slightly more interesting, Highway 41 also crosses Highway 19 right where 19 begins in Florida.

What's extra confusing here: at this intersection, Highway 19 and 41 join up for awhile. Business 41 and Business 19 go into Griffin, while 41 and 19, now the same road, stay west of Griffin. We aren't going into Griffin, which is an exurb or satellite city of Atlanta, but we're quite close.





Just to the east of the northernmost extension of Griffin is the town(?) of Experiment, Georgia. It isn't the home of mutant experiments gone bad, it's just the location of the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. This is the intersection of Highway 41 and McIntosh Road, just west of Experiment, not that exciting, but McIntosh Road is named Experiment Street where it links Griffin to Experiment. I'm sure that isn't confusing.






This is also close to Wyomia Tyus Olympic Park.  Since the Web page about the park doesn't say much about Wyomia Tyus except that she was an Olympic gold medalist, here's more about her, with links to a lot more information about her. And she was an important figure in sports history.
