OK the best place to meet is the rangers station (the red star on the map above. If your traveling from Broward County, take US 75 or Alligator Alley west to SR 29 Then make a left or south on SR 29. The Entrance to the park is about 18 miles on your right. Once you turn off SR 29 make your first right (Jane's scenic trail) and now you are heading toward the ranger station. There will be a tall fire tower just before you turn in to building. As for you in Miami, take US 41 or Tamiami trial to SR 29 and make a right or north, the entrance will be about 4 mile on your left the follow directions as above.

It's about a 2 hour drive of the east coast and we should be at the rangers station between 8:00 am and 8:30 am. on the 24th.
