Clueless in Central Florida



Debated route to I-95 from southwest Florida--looked like I-75 to I-4 to I-95 should work. Easy trip until about 18 miles west of Daytona when traffic halted, then moved forward, occasionally surging to 35, then back to 3 mph.
Oh no, could it be? I called Amy.
"When is the Daytona 500?"
"Today," she said.
Mystery solved. An exit appeared, but I figured I'd be better off on the road more traveled. Not.
And from that point on, every illegal U-turn spot had a cop stationed next to it!
Took over two hours to go about 18 miles.
Note to self: When traveling in Florida in February, note Nascar dates.
Only made it to Richmond Hill, GA before crashing.
