Although the 127 Yard Sale follows Highway 127 for the majority of the sale's route, many yardsalers don't realize Highway 127 ends in Chattanooga, TN. From that point, the 127 Yard Sale route follows various roads, which comprise Lookout Mountain Parkway, through Georgia and Alabama. It can be a little confusing so we've put these directions together to help you navigate successfully. Feel free to print them out and keep them handy. In rural areas such as this, your GPS likely won't be of much help.
