Found this mark while hiking the FT for The Gauntlet at Florida Finders Fest 7.

Disk is mounted on a lump of concrete a few inches above the ground. A large wood post serving as a witness post is located about 1 ft away.

The disk is approximately 0.3 mi west of NE 203rd Ave Rd and approximately 0.25 mi south of Lake Kerr Rd (County Road 316). It is roughly a 1/2 mile hike south on the FT from where the trail crosses Lake Kerr Rd and north of the blue blazed side trail to the 88 Store. The mark is only a few feet from the trail and in the open.

Mark is stamped:
