BWD, What routs do you take from Macon to Ocmulgee?
Since, our little hunting lease is on red dog farm rd, and I have approached it, from Macon, every way I know of and this is the easiest/fastest for me.
Coming thru Macon, on I-75, get in the left lane and take I-16 where I-16 and I-75 split. You are pretty much heading Sou. East. Go to the Sgoda Rd. exit. Get off I-16 and turn right. Go a couple of miles, to the stop sign. Turn left... you are now on Hwy 23, 129alt, heading pretty much South towards Cochran. You will stay on this road until you reach Red Dog Farm Rd.
Fun Facts to know you are still going in the right direction:
1. You could have gotten on Hwy 23 (Ocmulgee East Blvd.) just outside of Macon, but going to Sgoda Rd cuts out some two lane traffic. You cross the Twiggs Co. line before reaching Sgoda Rd.
2. There is a Kaolin/Clay Co. sign across the road at the intersection of Sgoda Rd. and Hwy 23. Use to be Huber, don't recall what it is now.
3. After getting on Hwy 23 the next major intersection will be Hwy 96.
4. After crossing into Bleckley Co., Red Dog Farm Rd. is not very far and is on the right. There will be a red dog road sign, and a WMA sign. There is also a communications tower located at the turn off. (It will be the 2nd. tower after passing Hwy 96).
5. If you get to Cochran, turn around, you went too far.
Recap: I-75 to I-16, to Sgoda rd., exit, turn right, go to stop sign, turn left on to Hwy 23, go across Hwy96 intersection, cross into Bleckley Co., R. Dog Rd. a little ways down, on the right. Can't miss it. :D
