Juat a reminder for most of us and perhaps news for some newer members...  If you click on the venue or map name on any event on our schedule, a map will appear showing the parking area being used for that event.  This is especially important on maps like Fair Hill, French Creek and Hickory Run that have multiple possibilities that may be relatively far apart.  Event directors, course setters or the scheduler can select these settings.  If the ED or CS needs help contact me and I can make any needed changes or additions.  The upcoming Hickory Run event is being staged out of the gamelands lot at the extreme western edge of the map, so those that look for us in the Sand Spring lot will be about 5 miles away from start.

The main page article for the HR event mentions Exit 41 on I-80.  There is no Exit 41 on I-80;  if there were, it would be somewhere north of Pittsburgh.

The I-80 exit for Rt 534 -- and the 6/30 event -- is 274.

You're right of course.. the exit numbers were reset to correspond to the mileposts numbers sometime after the 1988 map was printed.  I've fixed it in the news article.
