Below are the pictures of the signs to look for:

First sign you will see where you need to turn off the pavement to the circle:


Second sign you will see directing you to the circle:

We are SO EXCITED! You have some great things planned. Unfortunately, we will not be able to arrive until Jan. 17th so we will be unable to attend the 'Wagon Master Announcements' on the 15th. So will there be a 'minutes' from the announcements???

If anyone has any suggestions for our 6yr old Andrew, who is VERY into dinosaurs, animals/reptiles, and fossils we would love to hear them!

[jackel1959]

Carol,
We will be providing a paper copy of the rules, emergency information and schedule for you upon your arrival.

Jack

[BusyCarol]
