Maps and more:
The Park's address is:
2501 Highway A1A N
Indialantic, FL 32903

Map of Park and surrounding area.
Map from Tampa to the Park.
Map from Miami to the Park. (disregard the directions they give you. It's easier to get lost and you'll be more likely to get stuck in traffic).
Map from Gainesville to the Park. (again...using these directions are up to you).
Map from Jacksonville to the Park.



Hope this answers the question of directions. If anyone needs any further info, just PM me or give me a call. 321.243.2977.


As for what we do afterwards. It's still up in the air. I want to hear what everyone would like to do, then go from there.

[RaiderMP5]

We need a pavillion if we want to grill, I guess. I do not have a portable one, I am expecting one to be there. If someone has a grill, please bring one!

[13bturbomx5]

I have one that is portable that runs on gas. I will bring it as a backup. I will also bring hotdogs and buns.
Does someone need to call and reserve a pavillion for the 21st? I will do it if need be.

Steve
