Osteen Driving directions - useful for our rural site

---

Download to phone/tablet or print out directions to take along with you

Cell phone reception spotty in area, best on AT&T & Verizon 

Two places map programs may get it wrong for our location

1. Hit  “DETOUR BY ROAD" if available in any program that tries to send you down BOY SCOUT CAMP ROAD (impassable sugar sand, usually safe only for 4-wheel drive & off-road vehicles). You are in the wrong place, at the north end of Osteen, if you can't see Saddle Creek fence & mailboxes within 25 feet of a yellow NO OUTLET that sign, you should turn around and go south on State Road 415. Enter our part of Osteen further south, near Volusia County biking/hiking overpass on SR415
2.  About a block  after entering Saddle Creek dirt-road, turn left at V/curve to stay on Saddle Creek Farms Road. Most programs have right picture but some say to turn wrong way 

North on Pell RD for 4 miles (only one way to turn onto Pell RD - other side at intersection is closed gated driveway)

• Pass Prideaux & pass Oakridge Farms roads on right BEFORE you turn again when you reach  Saddle Creek Farms RD
• Paw prints painted on occasional power poles
• Watch out for similar street names along Pell & in Saddle Creek
  

IF PAVEMENT ON PELL ROAD RUNS OUT BEFORE YOU TURN ON SADDLE CREEK YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR – TURN AROUND NOW!  SUGAR SAND AHEAD AFTER PELL BECOMES A DIRT ROAD

Right/east on Saddle Creek Farms RD 

• Saddle Creek Farms RD.  street sign
• 1 mile of safe-when-slow dirt roads to Best Paw Forward Inc.
• No Outlet yellow sign just before turn onto Saddle Creek Farms Road
• Turn right before passing sign that says Pavement Ends
• Saddle Creek sign on white fencing
• Double bank of mailboxes on right by fence -- turn in between open gates
• You are invited guests - ignore No Trespassing sign
• 10 MILES PER HOUR ON DIRT ROAD - speeding messes up cars & road, can get you expelled from class with no refund

Short block to next turn: Left at that intersection to remain on Saddle Creek Farms RD

• Some GPS programs have right map picture, wrong words for this turn
•  Few street signs in subdivision -- landmarks help
• Avoid drainage ditches (& drainage pipe areas, except when you turn in driveway 😁 the pipe runs under our driveway of course)
• pass 2-story house on right
