What's the fastest way to get from Skydive Deland to Z-hills?

[jumpjunkie2004 0]

I want to go from DeLand to Z-hills. I've been to both places before, but I've never gone directly from one to the other.

Any suggestions?

Bear with me...I'm from MD.

Thanks!

pretty much I4 all the way. It's a straight shot.

Don't do that. Go through Leesburg.

Avoid highway traffic and take a plane. You are traveling from one airport to another, after all.

keep steps 1-7. after that stay on I4 until you get to the exit for lakeland/98- exit # 32. head north 14 miles or so (through the town) and make a left on CR 54. 4 miles or so, make a left on Chancey Rd. DZ is on the right hand side on CHancey.

I haven't gone through Leesburg, but I have taken Stacy's route before. Whatever you do, don't go through Orlando on I-4 during the morning or afternoon rush hour. You'll want to shoot yourself before you're done, it will be less painful.

I love the suggestion to have the pilot "drop" me off there :)

Unfortunately, I need to have my car too!

Thanks for your help.

We anyone be at DeLand on 12/28?

Take the skyvan and push your car out the back.

i do this drive almost every weekend. :)

the route with the least amount of navigating is to take I-4 to state road 98 (exit 32). make a right. travel ~16 miles just past the junction of 98/471. 1.5 miles after that, turn LEFT onto 54. at the light, turn LEFT onto chancey rd. 1.5 miles on the right you'll see the sign.

an alternate to that after getting onto I-4 would be to take the 417 (toll) in sanford to bypass orlando proper. it spits you back out just south of orlando at disney. continue to exit 32.
---------------------------

the quickest way.

take 44 west out of deland towards eustis. (~26 miles)
turn left onto 44B towards 441. (~2 miles)
at traffic light, turn right onto 441. (travel ~7 miles)
at traffic light, turn left onto 19 towards tavares. (~12 miles)
at the T just over the lake at mission inn, turn left. DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT. howey-in-the-hills is a speed trap! travel on 19 until you get into a town called groveland (~15 miles).
turn RIGHT onto 50 (~15 miles)
turn LEFT at the light onto 471. this is a 22-mile stretch you can drive really fast on. ;)

at the end, turn right onto 98 (go ~1.5 miles)
turn LEFT (at the tower) onto 54. (go ~6 miles)
at the traffic light turn LEFT onto chancey rd. (go ~1.5 miles)
turn RIGHT at the skydive city sign.


hope this helps!

Punch Mike Johnston in the snot and see if you can land in Z-hills on your re-entry.

I think I'll send this to Mike. He could probably use a laugh.
