Me and some others were discussing directions to Ocala at Savage the other day. Heck, I'll do a thread, and post a link at the trips page.

From Gainesville (I-75 southbound):
Exit at #387 in Gainesville - hwy 26.
Follow 26 East into town. Procede on 26 to 20 East toward Palatka.
Stay on 20 East for about 30 miles to Interlachen.
From Interlachen, turn South on 315.
Travel 3-4 miles to 310 near Kenwood. Turn left (East) on 310.
Travel about 8 miles to hwy 19 @ Rodman. Turn left (North) on 19.
Whoa! There's the lock!

From Ocala (I-75 northbound):
Hwy 40 East toward Ocala NF. Turn left (North) on hwy 315. Follow 315 for about 30 miles through Ft. McCoy, Orange Springs, then Kenwood. At Kenwood, turn right (East) on 310 to Rodman.

From Palatka (I-95 southbound):
Hwy 20 West to hwy 19 South to Rodman. Short drive.

From Ormond Beach (I-95 northbound):
Exit at Hwy 40. Turn West toward Ocala. Travel about 30 miles to Hwy 19 North. Travel hwy 19 North for about 30 miles to Rodman.

Gojo - You will have to make another thread from the trip page first for it to be linked from it.

Excellent! Thanks for posting. I look forward at finding various ways to torture Pennsy as we drive up from Tampa (farting, singing along with They Might Be Giant songs, driving through redneck side towns, ect.)

Gee gojo, Joe is your real name? Whodda thunk? I wonder what Sarabelle and Gizmo's real names are.

Artex - you have a cd player in your car, right? I hope so cuz I'm bringing "ABBA's Greatest Hits" and "The Best of 4 Non-blondes" just for you pal.

Geez, I'm doing this because of my friendship with Artex. After all, they are his 2 favorite groups. Personally, I'm gonna have my walkman cranked up with Metallica.

Metalica is alright. I prefer Suicidal Tendencies.

Great, that's sure to turn me on. I'll have an opportunity to practice Toide!

I still say it makes better sence to meet at Grassy Pond and then shuttle back to where we will start.
It'll save time and will be less trouble at the end of the hike.

I can drive to either place. It doesn't matter to me. Someone give me directions to Grassy Pond and I will drive there.

leave it to walkindude to get this back on topic. I should have said my walkman would be cranked up with FB/2. Then the fun could have continued. ;o)

"Cool is a byproduct of us being alive" ...HPM

Mind if I use that one?

She Coop and I went to a TMB Giants concert about 2 years ago. They played Don't Let's Start in the encore and we were going nuts along with the only other fan there over 30. All the crowd surfers in front (who were getting made fun of by the band - "isn't that a 90's thing?") were just sort of swaying to the song.

Walkindude's got a good point.

some people -- whose name may have been given in this thread -- are wondering about stashing cold refreshments at strategic locations along the way. Is this part of any shuttling plans? ;-)

Pennsy, if you even attempt to put ABBA or 3 Non-blondes in my CD player, I'm gonna break your fingers.
