Florida
Heading to Florida in April. Was thinking of getting off 95 at Rt186 in North Carolina. And running that to 301 to 125 than to Rt13/17. Than running 17 back to 95 in Georgia to Florida. Instead of running 95 from Pa to Miami. Any thoughts?
17 through North and South Carolina is FANTASTIC , I've done that once and hope to do it again . To go through Charleston and see many old mansions is worth while the time if you have it

I would also guess this is not a trailer situation and the intention is to ride from PA to Miami.
If that is the case and you want a scenic trip then it would depend on time factors.
For example:
Most riders would consider avoiding I-95 in most parts of Florida and especially from Ft Pierce south when in Florida.
Getting on 17 as suggested before from Savannah, Georgia south could be rather relaxing.
Much less traffic and some small towns.
Continue on your way to the MAYPORT FERRY and ride ferry transport across the river and grab some fresh seafood on the south side of ferry terminal.
Then continue south to pick-up A1A south to FORT PIERCE.
Then at FORT PIERCE get on the Florida Turnpike (toll road) south to your destination.
You could continue riding south near the ocean from Ft Pierce instead, but it gets very slow (30mph), becomes rather congested (traffic lights and crosswalks) and requires turning away from the ocean and then back towards the ocean a few times making the trip rather long.
South of Ft Pierce would be considered scenic and you will pass in front of Trumps place but it could be considered rather slow after riding the coast from Georgia, that is why some folks jump on turnpike after Ft Pierce.
You may wish to consider ordering the MADMAPS for FLORIDA as it is rather good at marking scenic roads.
Enjoy your trip.
Another option (in either direction) might be the Amtrak autotrain.
Autotrain runs between Lorton, Virginia (about 4 or 5 hours from PA) to Sanford, Florida (about 1 hour south west of Daytona).
