Fatty July 31, 2003 Share Fatty GC Founder July 31, 2003 I've taken some pictures and watched the odometer as my niece drove me all over the place today (might as well, she needs the practice hours). I will expect that you can find your way to the main travel arteries that I will speak of. From there, you can just print out the appropriate directions and put it on auto-pilot and let me bring you in. I think you guys that are driving should write FF03 in soap on your windows in case you drive by another fragger when you get close! Some of the directions will be repeated when they meet up for your printing convenience. NOTE: You can't see the barn from the road. The entrance is made of a wooden fence with a small sign.

Fatty August 15, 2003 Author Share Fatty GC Founder August 15, 2003 No, it would NOT be quicker than riding the highway almost the entire way, but you'll get there. If you look at a map, 76 will take you northeast right toward us. Anyways: If you do that, use the above pictures from 271, because when you cross over 271 you're getting close.
