Directions:
(please make carpooling arrangements with your friends!)

From Campus…. down the hill (either Main St. or Park Ave sides)…turn right at the first stop sign or light onto Baldwin St….this is also Rte 19W/6N…travel about three miles to Saegertown…thru Saegertown …turn left on Rte 198 (west)…this crosses French Creek….1.6 miles later you will see signs for I-79 and a sharp left hand turn
(this is actually a crossroads)… go straight ahead rather than taking the left…this is Brookhouser Road. In about 1 mile take the first available right turn on to Hites Road. As you drive on Hites road you will pass through a farmyard…barns on both sides…100 yds ahead , take the first available right turn onto Pond Road… (the sign may be gone) my driveway is the second on the right which is marked by a Black mailbox and a green Tribune paper tube….turn right onto the driveway and follow it to the brick house….you’re there! Lost?? 763-5826 will get you directions.

Hopefully, we'll have a great sunny day! But even if it's raining, the picnic will still be at the farm. Also, be sure to thank Dr. Cross for his hospitality.

We hope to see you there!!
