Then we have to go west to go northwards, and the towns on 301 drive
"himself" nuts with the traffic lights. We actually enjoy the route we take;
I am still looking to see a bear off Rt 19. My son saw one right by the road
a year or so back, when he was returning home to OP. Jim is really an
Interstate driver with the rig, by choice; I-4 is one of his exceptions to
the rule, same as we don't take the Washington Beltway, either, but cut
cross-country.

Exactly; I loathe I-4 and will drive anywhere to avoid it; especially
around
the Mouse House!! Usually when we go to Jax we go north on 33, 19 and
17,
through Ocala forest. Other than Orange Park, and Eustis areas, they are
relatively stress-free. When we drive in that direction, we are always in
a
37 ft motorhome, towing a pick-up........so that makes us a 50ft train!!
LOL

Have you tried 301?

Deb,
I live in Polk City, which is just north of exit 38 0n I-4. My husband
loves
to call it the citlural center of plk County. I think he p****s folk
off
when he says thos to the locals!!!

I-4 drives DH nuts. He's always complaining "WHY does it say EAST
when it's going NORTH?"

We're between Jacksonville and Lake City, but head to Orlando
frequently since that's where my sons and sister live. I take it
you're between Tampa and Orlando?
