Have you ever done this route? : I-95 south to Rt 207 near St Augustine, 207 West to Rt 100, to Rt. 20 in Palatka, to Rt 19 through the Ocala Forest to Rt 314 in Salt Springs, to Rt 35 in Silver Springs to Rt 441/27 in Bellevue, to TV.

This is 40 miles less and 30 minutes shorter than going all the way to Ormond Beach. And it's why the poster above mentions that it only takes 2 hours to get from Rt 42/301 to just south of Jacksonville in only 2 hours.
