Roadtrip
Memories
Like
millions of Americans in the Nation's Heartland
during the 1960s, Cindy Scott journeyed to Florida
by car with her parents to enjoy its warm sunshine
and many vacation attractions.
Ms.
Scott fondly recalled her several roadtrips to the
Sunshine State, and the excitement of seeing billboards
and signs along the way that counted down the miles
to the next Stuckey's, Horne's, or HoJo's! On one
of her treks into the Southland, her family stopped
and stayed at the Ocala Horne's Motor Lodge where
she and her family enjoyed a swim in the pool back
in the summer of 1968! |

as they headed south along I-75 into the
