Pardon me for being old fashioned since I don't have a GPS... I did not see any real driving directions on the '09 GA rally thread. How do I get there? What Interstate or Highway to take? You know, some basic info...

If you go to the durhamtown web site which is in the 09 rally thread, click on directions and it gives directions several ways depending on where you are coming from.

Colonel,
I left driving directions out for a couple of reasons. I put a link to Durhamtown's website, hoping people would call them.
I just looked at their website and it appears they have updated it. See here:
One, many people would be coming from a lot of different directions.
Two, this place is out in the boonies! There aren't many turns to take, but you have to take right ones or you may never be seen again! Their website actually has the following disclaimer:
DO NOT USE MAPQUEST OR YAHOO MAPS They will lead you in directions unknown to man...
Here is what they have listed on their site:

I am going to add this to main thread, but definitely, make sure you know where you are going when coming to the rally, as cell reception is spotty at best! So calling them before you leave and verifying your travel route is advised!
