World's Longest Yard Sale comes through Mentone

On Thursday, August 6th, the 22nd Corridor 127 yard sale will begin in Gadsden, travel up Lookout Mountain Parkway through Mentone, head to Chattanooga and end up in Ohio. This 450 mile yard sale is an experience. Everyone comes out and sells their so-called treasures along the route. This sale has been featured on HGTV and in an article by Peter Greenburg http://www.aarpmagazine.org/travel/worlds_longest_yard_sale.html. This is not a sale for the faint hearted, as it is a long journey during a hot time of the year so bring your water, your sunscreen and your patience. Greenburg has some great suggestions on how to enjoy this adventure. More information, such as maps and lodging, about the specifics of the yard sale can be found at www.127sale.com or www.tourdekalb.com.
Come enjoy the yard sale and take in the beauty of Lookout Mountain.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew it had lengthened but didn't know exactly how far. Here's to good weather that week!
