Slight problem. I'm going up to Reading Mass. for a rifle match tomorrow. I have the directions gotten from Mapquest, but seeing as how I am a sucky navigator outside of my hometown and the ones surrounding it, I have a bit of a problem.

I am driving up there with a friend ( more correctly, he'll be doing the driving. I'm the 'coordinator' so to speak ), but I'd like to make the directions as simple as possible for him and I. Neither of us have been up in that particular area before.

781 Haverhill St
Reading, MA 01867

That is the address of the range. How simple do you folks think you could mill the directions down to?

Sweet stuff. Google is the shiite.

I must say, mapquest can be quite confusing, dealing with multiple pages of junk, sometimes.

This is going to be a long day...

Wish us luck! Tell the Gods not to have the winds kick up, will y'all?

From 95 north, get off on the Haverhill St exit, it is a rotory.  Bear right coming off the highway, stop at Honeydew for a coffee.  Then back to the rotory and go 2/3 around and exit on to Haverill street heading northwest, the Nation Guard base is on the right.   Continue to the next traffic light, turn right and head towards Burbank Arena (remember 'Hockey Dad'), there is a dirt road to the right before the arena parking lot.  Follow it to club house.
