Special Considerations during this time:

Good idea to bring lip balm, lights for bikes (if wanted), plenty of water and snacks.  Don’t forget your sunscreen and print off a cue sheet for route (if wanted).   Lunch at Sue’s – bring your goodies.

Directions:
West Hwy 64, left (southwest) on Hwy 94, Approximately 1 mile to Hwy D, right turn (west), 14 miles to Sue’s home, around a bend on the road (right side) Due to school in session, Hwy 94 traffic from Hwy 64, could take an extra 10 minutes or so.  Another option, continue on Hwy 64 to Hwy Z, head south (left) for approximately 6 miles to Hwy D, then right to Sue’s home.

Plenty of parking available. Good idea, to map on phone, hence easier to turn into Sue’s driveway-white 2 story home. Town of New Melle – 4 miles from Sue’s home has a service station, bathrooms available.  Bathroom available at Sue’s home.
