The event notes say that Sunday's Ridley event will be held out of Shelter 17.  Where is that?

Here are the coordinates in a Google map, too:

I haven't tested whether the directions are solid though.  Ed's right:  get to the park and follow the signs.

See you tomorrow!

Thank you for the helpful -- as well as not-so-helpful -- info!  Turns out I had been there once, ages ago.

If you look very closely on Google Maps you can even see the Orange & White arrows.
