The weren't any obvious reason for the slow movement (no accident etc.). In Ocala Sam's some of the people we talked to said its becoming more of the norm.

As a side note the pavement on Rt 44 is becoming rough in spots. Especially Turning from Buena Vista to 44, but there are a few other areas.
Just came home last night (July 11) from Illinois and the traffic from north of Atlanta was the worse I have been in. From Gainesville to Wildwood it was stop and go. No accidents. Just heavy traffic.
