My first Yaris road trip: a small one to see how the little Yaris does with the big rigs on a leisurely pleasure cruise.

Acworth, GA to Chattanooga, TN

Route: US 41N to I-75N

Miles: 100 one-way (approx).

Purpose: to take 4-year old daughter to see Ruby Falls. A cave with a waterfall below Lookout Mountain.

Driving Conditions: Windy. 38 degrees F. Major crosswinds. Sunny. Medium traffic.

On The Road Notes: Drove at or just below the speed limit (70 mph) to get a feel of highway mileage. I averaged 38 MPG for entire trip. It was quite windy and the car was battling crosswinds.

Was passed by millions of idiots in trucks, cars, and vans doing 90+, no signals, whipping in and out of traffic (pricks!). The truck drivers behaved and gave me plenty of space.

Saw a Georgia State Patrol unit sitting in the shadow of an underpass running laser. Glad I was doing the limit. Bastards!

Was held up in traffic near the GA/TN line due to a wreck where a Honda Civic hatch and a Mitsu EVO tangled (probably racing).

My daughter loved Ruby Falls and the underground cave waterfall. I ordered an awesome full rack of ribs from Sticky Fingers barbeque in downtown Chattanooga and took them home with us back to Acworth.

I looove Ruby Falls! My boyfriend and I went last year. We go to Tennessee every summer. I've been there about 4 or 5 times.. did you go to Rock City as well?
