Not only did I scare the ---- out of my wife but I had to pretend I wasn't scared too. Yipes PITCH DARK, nothing and more nothing for miles and miles and miles (does the movie "Deliverance" ring a bell). After multiple trips down and up 301 to rte 10 and a few north on 75 to Gainesville 24 back to 301 I think/thought this is/was the best route. Now with these BS speeding tickets I don't know.. a couple of times I tried on 301 and 24 to get right behind an 18 wheeler ( I mean right on his butt) and do what ever speed he is doing. I even tried to keep other cars from getting between us.. Another problem, for us, is we are always driving the first two hours early morning or the last six hours in the dark. Are these speed traps also in the middle of the day?? Thanks

As I have stated, I prefer 301/I 10. Second choice would be 42 east to Altoona then 19 north to right on CR 445A to right Rt 40 to left on Rt 11 to Bunnell then north on US 1 to I 95. Look out for deer and bear. I have family in St. Augustine Beach and we use that route a lot but make it a point to be home by dark.
BTW, I don't understand why anyone would be on Rt 24 in order to get to I 10. Do you go out to I 75 and then 24 through Gainesville?
