Don’t speed in the town of Stark if I’m remembering correctly
You can bypass it now if you want to and the speed traps that follow it - Hampton and Waldo - have been dismantled by the state's attorney general. I have actually stayed in Starke before, always choosing to stay in a place that heads me back toward S.C. Probably the best place to say is along the road leading into Jacksonville Airport. Lots of hostelry on the airport side of I-95 and plenty of places to eat on either side at that exit. There's also a back road out to I-295.
Plenty of Tom Petty music for the ride and tailgating to set the Gainesville mood!
The best thing that EVER came out of that s&@thole, Starke Florida, was Ted Bundy’s lifeless body! I got pulled there by officer TWO TON TERI. Ugliest, sloppiest, fatest LEO I’ve ever encountered. Gave me a speeding ticket even though a car with Florida tags had blown my doors off at the red light. Coincidentally we were returning from the USC/UF football game. I wouldn’t stop to piss in Starke Florida!
My experience is get in town early and look for something within four or five blocks of the stadium. It's a tough parking town.
Now, if we could only get a bypass around I-95 in SC.
I know that, from the I-26 junction southward, it's a disgrace, an absolute disgrace.
