Re: Driving Directions to TV via I-95 Down East Coast?
Quote:
I returned to NY this way a week or so ago. You're both right - this seems to be the fastest way to go. I made it past Jacksonville in just a little over 2 hours, state line in 2 1/2 or better. I'm a convert. I liked this way a lot. Since my house is in Liberty Park I'm pretty near 466A. I took that to 301 then down to 44A to 44 to get on I-75 there. I think it was 12 minutes to I-75 from my house! From there (Exit 329) it was 53 miles to the gainsville exit (382). The roads around there (120, 331 & 24) were very good. And then slowly through Waldo, and on up 301 to 10. Really a quick way. I'm coning down again this week and will use it then too. Thanks. |

Re: Driving Directions to TV via I-95 Down East Coast?
Two weeks ago, I returned north using the route described by Pete: through the Ocala National Forest. From 95 below Ormond Beach, take 40 W, then 19 So. through the forest, then 42 W to 25 W into Lady Lake. It was a beautiful and quick ride. Much better than 301. That was a nightmare of speed limits changes, lights, lane changes, etc.
This is my new and best route. Hope this helps.

Re: Driving Directions to TV via I-95 Down East Coast?
Diskman, thanks for the tip, but all the map programs send you down 301 all the way from 10 to 466 and in a word that route stinks. Or at least quite a few folks out here are of that opinion.

SteveNY and Bubbalarry: I will try your suggested route in a few weeks. Sounds like a possible keeper. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info.

Re: Driving Directions to TV via I-95 Down East Coast?
Hey Folks,
No one has mentioned the route I took last week. I've tried them all and this is the best. I-95 thru Jacksonville to exit 311, Rt 207. It's a new divided highway much better than Rt 40. Take 207 through Palatka to Rt. 19 south thru the Ocala Forest to Salt Springs. Take a right on CR314 to Silver Springs. Left on CR35 to 441 to TV. The only place that's slow is thru Palatka, about 10 minutes out of the whole trip. This route was 20 to 30 minutes faster than any route I've ever tried. It's at least as open as the Ormand Beach-Rt. 40 route but 20-30 miles shorter, hence the time savings |

Re: Driving Directions to TV via I-95 Down East Coast?
Having lived in Ormond Beach prior to moving to The Villages and having made the trip a "few" times, I recommend:
I-95 to Rt-40 in Ormond Beach (don't remember exit number) Stay on 40 West until you pass over the St. John’s River at Aster About a 1 – 2 miles past Aster go left onto 445A toward Alexander Springs Take 445A about ½ mile & turn left onto 445 Stay on 445 (through National Forest) until it dead-ends at 19 Turn left onto 19 and go about 5 miles to light at SR-42 Turn right onto 42 until you get to 441/27 (take about ½ hour) Depending where you're going in The Villages: You can turn left onto 441/27 and after couple of miles you'll see The Villages---can't miss it. OR: Cross 441/27 and stay on 42 until Buena Vista Blvd (about the third stop light) Turn left onto Buena Vista Blvd. and start having the fun of your life in The Villages. |
