Better yet, take exit #373 north of Jacksonville off of 95 toward Callahan, FL. You will go a very short distance on Rt 200 before it turns into 301. Then cut over from 301 to 75 just north of Ocala to avoid lots of traffic in Ocala. After getting south of Ocala you can cut back over to 301 if you live in the northern part of the Villages, or stay on 75 if you are heading to the southern sections.
