Reported MIA Aug 2004-will rehide one soon! Unfortunately the original owner of this box has also gone MIA. This box will not be replanted. Sorry.

NOTE: Unfortunately, the original planter of this box is also MIA and I've adopted it. Based on reports of this box being missing, this box is now retired.

I am reposting this as it was lost in the basment & no one clamied it. Please let me know if an original placer would like to reclaim.


Where: Largo, Florida Pinellas county
John S. Taylor Park ( a Pinellas County Park )
Planted by: Tweety and Mr. Coon 1/09/03
Last found 10/13/03 by bob
Difficulty: Easy. (unless you want to do the exercise stations) Flat
loop path of about a mile and a half or so around a pond. You can
park within a couple of hundred yards of the box.

Driving directions:
On 8th Street ( Taylor Road ) between US Rte. 19 and Florida 697 or
access the park as we do from the Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail at the
trailside granite marker (mile 15) dedicating the trail to Mr.
Marquis.

Background:
Riding on this paved trail which extends from St. Petersburg to
Tarpon Springs (34 miles or so) has become a must activity for us
when we visit anywhere near the area. We wanted to plant a box along
the trail itself, but they keep it so well groomed that hiding spots
are hard to find. These county parks are really nice though and since
a number of them abut the trail we settled for that.

Directions to the box:
Entering the park from the Pinellas Trail head towards the water and
intercept the gravel path which encircles the pond. There's a parking
lot, playground, and restrooms here if you arrive by car and want to
take the walk. There's parking, picnic tables, and restrooms across
the pond nearer the box location too. Follow the path around the pond
and find Vita Course Station #14. Stand in front of the station sign
facing the path and sight past a pine tree at about 280 degrees to a
large 5 trunked live oak tree. Take about 33 of my steps toward the
live oak and look between the base of the north side of the tree and
a small (about ten inches high) stump for the box. Keep a weather eye
out for gators. Enjoy the park and the trail.
