Geocache Description:

Easy micro in a beautiful waterfront spot.

This location was a hopin' spot back in the day when 301 was a major thoroughfare for the tourist trade. Now it's but a fading ruin. Still beautiful though.

History -- US 301 did not exist in 1927, even though US 201 did in Maine, and US 401 did in Virginia. US 301 had been reserved in 1925 for a portion of what became US 17 in Virginia. By 1932, the number had been added the US highway system. It did not extend to Florida till 1948.

US 301 ended up being signed on FL 200 to Ocala, and then it followed FL 35 to Dade City, FL. It picked up FL 39 to Zephyr Hills, and then followed FL 41 to into Tampa where it terminated in 1949. This route still exists from Thonotosassa to eastern Tampa as Harney Rd, and from US 92 south as Lake Ave.

In 1952, it was routed along the 'old' US 41 routing south to Palmetto (SR 43). In 1953, US 301 was extended to its final terminus at Sarasota. It never had an old State Road number, but the old State Roads on its current alignment are FL 4 From the State line to Callahan, FL 13 to Waldo, FL 31 to Ocala, FL 2 to Belleview, FL 23 to Zephyrhills.
