Directions:
        From Atlanta or Augusta, take I-20 eastbound into South Carolina.
        After a few miles, exit onto US25 north.
        Go north on US25 for 9 miles.  
        At that point the four-lane highway becomes two-lane.
        Keep going another 2.5 miles.
        At exactly 2.5 miles, turn left onto a long, straight dirt road.  
           (Landmarks for this dirt road:
                It's 2.5 miles north of where the four-lane ends.
                There is an old brick building on the righthand
                        side of US25.
                There is a popular vegetable stand named "Jackies"
                        right before the brick building.
                There is a white two-story farmhouse right after
                        the brick building.
                Look for paper plates saying "RIDER / STRICK"
                        marking the way.
           )
        Go down the dirt road 1/2 mile to the fork.
        Fork left.
        Go down another 1/4 mile.
        Turn right through the Aluminum farm gate.
        Go 1/2 mile to log cabin.
        Stop.  Get out.  Stretch.  Breathe deep.  Rebel yell!

Bring:
        food & drinks & stuff
		(also: winn dixie grocery nearby; waffle house at I-20)
