Bring Your Own Sunshine

Osteen Florida, RT 415
 Take the sandy road between the two landmarks in the pictures above to the parking area below.  Park at the gate on the left side of the parking lot.
Go through the gate.
 If you want a map, you can get one at this kiosk but one is not needed for this box. 
 Just follow the white blazes for about a quarter of a mile.
 When you see this cluster of trees on the right, close to the edge of the trail, take 22 more steps.
You will see an open area on the right.
 Go into the clearing 50 steps to the grouping of trees below.
 Look behind the palmetto on the left.
 About a foot off the ground on the backside of this tree.
Box is at 28.8905946786, -81.140564073
 Just an FYI, information boards at the kiosk.
 For my identification purpose, this is the tree between the palmettos.  I have identified it based on the orange scaly bark as a longleaf pine.
