Turn right and go one short block to the next light …take another right and go one more short block to VIRGINIA AVE>

Turn left on VIRGINIA AVE and go two miles west till you see a sign for BENEDICT RD>

Turn right on BENEDICT and go north for 4 miles….following the main road and always veering left –never right. This is a very good road!
