441 to 42 to 19 to 17. This is how we go when we travel to New England. We usually take the by-pass around Jacksonville since 17 comes into 295 west of I 95. We have found this route to be easy and traffic-free for the most part. Besides, like us, you may see a bear as you travel 19 through the Ocala National Forest! I can tell you that from our home in the Palo Alto area our travel time to Palatka is an hour and a half, to 295 in Orange Park two and a half hours, and to I 95 north of Jacksonville less than three hours. Publix in Palatka is a good rest stop and the times I have quoted here include that. Total mileage from our home to I 95, north of Jacksonville, is 144 miles.
