Left at Rt 19 takes you through Ocala Nat'l Forest and no traffic. Again, good road all the way to 42 and into the TV.
I really like this way too!

I've made one change though, I take the 9A east bypass around Jacksonville (it's the eastern 1/2 of the 295 loop). I clocked it and it is only 2 miles longer than going straight thru Jax. I prefer it to the busier 95 route. I don't think anyone knows it's completed yet!
