Google Maps provides directions from anywhere to the lodge. All you need to do is go to "get directions", fill in the form and it will create a route to the lodge for you. It has some really nice features.
Mapquest
can provide excellent driving directions, from your starting place, and
may provide some variations with shortest route, fastest route or whatever
you may select. If it isn't filled in already, you can type in 4051 Vt. Rt. 100 Lower Granville, VT 05747 for your ending location.
Others in the club may have
other favorite routes and places to stop for refreshments, ask around. It
is always prudent to have a map just in case you miss a turn.
Then there is always the high
technology way - GPS - Lower Granville is located at 43 degrees 59'
05.14" North, 72 degrees 50' 48.54" West and is at about 977 ft.
above sea level.
