Traveling south on Cannon Bridge Road from Highway 301\, go past the railroad crossing and come in the third entrance on the left just after the main parking lot area for the SI Group and just before the fenced-in electrical substation enclosure. After turning in\, look to your right and follow the short dirt road\, on the east side of the electrical substation enclosure\, towards the tree line where we will meet and line up our cars. After everyone has arrived\, a safety officer from the SI Group will lead the caravan of cars back to the Hundred Acre Woods parking area. \nPlease register online at the CBS website or RSVP to Diane Curlee\, our trip organizer\, at the email address below if you plan to participate.
