>> #2 - Take the Ohio Turnpike to exit 15, follow 80/76 to the East like

>> 7 North (park sign points that way I believe) and drive maybe 6-8
>> minutes. When you go past Beaver High School on your left, slow down.
>> You will need to make a right turn after a small group of pine trees

>> If you prefer to take 70 East, then 77 North, then you will see the
