Directions:

Take 95 South to Exit 148. Go west on Russell Road 6.5 miles to Lunga Park entrance sign. Turn right on J Edgar Hoover. Pull into the parking lot and check in at the office or General Store. I'm not sure if this is required of everyone or just the organizer - but be prepared to check in. You will have to pass through a security checkpoint at some point, so you can ask them if you need to stop at the office. We have group site 3 reserved. Proceed to Group Site 3.

Note: Traffic regulations and speed limits on the base are strictly enforced.
