Driving from Lenox: 

  1. Take Lenox Rd to Route 41 (turn right onto 41)
  2. 41 to 295 (left onto 295)
  3. As soon as you see the green sign Welcome to New York State on the right side of the road, immediately slow down and look for the left turn for Cunningham Hill Rd. (the turn is about 50-100 yards before the sign). If you drove past the sign, you've gone too far.

  5. WARNING: Whatever navigation system you use, DO NOT TAKE Rossiter Rd - it's not drivable and shouldn't be on the map!!!! You will never be seen again.
