I'm wondering if it would be better to continue west on I-10 then south on I-75 (exiting at Ocala). Any suggestions?
301 was not a good road when we first moved here, but it is now. It is much longer to go all the way to I-75 and takes about the same time to get here from Jacksonville (my son lives there). It's at least 40 miles out of the way. Until they improved 301, we did go I-75 because 301 was only 2-lane most of the way...yuk.

If you opt to come 301, just be aware of the speed limits. Waldo and Lawtey have national reputations for their speed traps. Go the speed limits and you won't have a problem. Don't, and they do write tickets!
