PARKING & INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUSES: Buses should turn into the parking lot field to the left immediately upon entering the property. Proceed to the end of the field near the porta-potties to drop off runners. Loop around the field and park along the fencerow near the entrance. NOTE: this may change due to wet conditions in the field. For pick-up, buses can pick up students at the drop off location then proceed around the field to the south exit. In NO instance should buses proceed down the road past the ticket booth to the buildings.

Cars will be parked in the field to the left of the driveway immediately upon entering the property, starting near the porta-potties. Do not drive past the stone wall and do not park on the course.
