Naples, Florida, to Rocky Mount, North Carolina - January 1, 2005

From the 840-mile drive, mostly up I-75, US 301, and I-95.


Preparing for some new development along Golden Gate Parkway in Naples. [2048x1536]

On I-75 north in the Port Charlotte area, we passed through hurricane damage again. Lots of blue tarps are still in use. [2048x1536]

Looks like the worse of it went through here. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Now north of Tampa, I-275 rejoins I-75. [2048x1536]

Traffic slowdown for several miles south of Ocala. Everyone had to slow down to see an accident being cleaned up. [2048x1536]

Flatness of central Florida. [2048x1536]

"Orange Land" off of our exit to cut over to US 301 in Ocala. [2048x1536]

Ocala. [2048x1536]

Made it to US 301 (and more). [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Stop for Oranges in Hawthorne, Florida. [2048x1536]

The citrus stand. [2048x1536]

And continuing north on US 301. [2048x1536]

Crossing I-10 on US 301. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

US 301 joins US 90 for a little bit. [2048x1536]

And then it's a 2-lane road for a while. [2048x1536]

Big hill as US 301 crosses a river. [2048x1536]

And even a 5% grade! [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

At Callahan, we leave US 301 and take the northernmost piece of A1A over to I-95. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

And onto I-95 for the rest of the day. [2048x1536]

Into Georgia. [2048x1536]

Stop here for gas, onions, and more citrus. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Then on into South Carolina and soon after, darkness. [2048x1536]
