| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Driving south on I-75, North Ga, not exactly sure where I was. Somewhere between the TN/GA state line and Rome. It was the longest, widest, slowest moving trail I have ever seen. It may have lasted more than a minute, I lost sight because I was not able to pull over. I saw a couple cars that were pulled over to see it. |
