Let's get oriented on Highway 41

OK, we're back on Highway 41.  However, just as soon as we get back on it, we're going to take a short trip off of it.


Now the trek has reached Post Way in Clayton County. Here we'll go off the highway for a short little side trip to the Steve Lundquist Aquatic Center. Lundquist was one of the country's great swimmers in the 1980s, and he was from this region, and in person, I saw him set a couple of national records. So here's the Aquatic Center, part of the Jim Huie Recreation Center.




Here's what it looks like inside.

Now: this is a little confusing, but for several miles Highway 41/19/3 has also been Tara Boulevard (think Gone With the Wind ). At this interesting intersection, 41 splits off of Tara and heads nearly due north, which continues as Highway 401 off to the northwest.  See the map below the Streetview view.

Next time: lots of interstate crossings.
