286 miles via I-85, I-285 (north of Atlanta), I-75 and GA 92. Miles since the end of Hop 3: 297. Cumulative route miles: 1,157. Total TS9 miles: 1,222. The extra miles were due to a couple of shopping trips in Concord.
This was an easy hop almost exclusively on interstate highways. We had one bio break but no refueling or sightseeing stops. Pretty simple trip in good weather. The traffic near Atlanta, at rush hour, was heavy, but tolerable.
Our home in Concord NC was the Hampton Inn. The room was very nice and breakfast (good, not great) was included. Not a bad place. But our intention was to stay for two nights and we decided, around 1pm, to cut it to one day. The hotel agreed to refund the second night if we were out by 1:30 so we quickly packed and left. And forgot to take the USB battery pack (about $30, needed for the upcoming cruise). We are hoping to recover it but will probably have to buy another to take with us on the cruise. The cost of haste.
