Follow Ochs Hwy. off of Lookout Mountain to Tennessee Ave. to Broad St. to Hwy 27 to the U.S. Hwy. 127) Simply reverse these directions if you choose to follow the route from North to South. Although the Yard Sale officially goes from Gadsden to Covington, feel free to jump on board anywhere in between.
