The plants have found homes now--thank you! Jennifer

Thanks, Mom, for posting the directions here. When I was reading them, I realized that I had made a mistake on the directions from North of Olympia. I did some extensive editing from last years' directions trying to simplify them, and I cut out a crucial step by mistake. Here are the corrected directions from North of I-5: From North of Olympia: 1. Exit I-5 at exit 116. If exiting from Southbound I-5, turn left at the top of the ramp. If exiting from Northbound I-5, turn right at the top of the ramp. This puts you on Mounts Road, which becomes Nisqually Road, which is also the Old Pacific Highway further along. 2. Follow that road (40 MPH zone) over a curved bridge, over the Nisqually River, through the town of Nisqually (35 MPH zone), past Reservation Road (50 MPH zone) to State Route 510. At the stop sign, turn left (your lane will be slightly uphill) - there is a pull-out lane to facilitate merging onto Hwy 510. 3. Follow Hwy 510 to Meridian Road and turn right. (Note: Meridian road is on the outside curve of the road, and this is where people get lost - they overshoot it. If you find yourself at the Red Wind Casino, you went too far. Turn around and follow directions as if coming from Yelm.) 3a. Follow Meridian Road to the Yelm Highway. You will see the Evergreen Valley Grocery Store and Gas Station across the highway. Turn right onto the Yelm Highway. 4. Turn left at TriLakes Market and Gas Station onto Spurgeon Creek Road. 5. Follow Spurgeon Creek Road to 80th. Turn right. 6. The clubhouse is dead ahead, at the top of the hill. You do not have a stop sign, so pull straight into the parking area and find a place to park.

We plan om having the Plant Trade from 10 until 2:00 or until the club house is empty and the plants have found homes. Since we have the club house we think a little potluck would be nice. Tammy and I will bring the drinks..dinnerware and silverware. Directions to the Plant Trade From southbound I-5 above exit 116: 1. Take exit 116. Turn left at the top of the ramp. This puts you on Mounts Road, which becomes Nisqually Road, which is also the Old Pacific Highway further along. 2.

At the stop sign, turn left (your lane will be slightly uphill) - there is a pull-out lane to facilitate merging onto Hwy 510. 3. Follow Hwy 510 to Meridian Road and turn right. (Note: Meridian road is on the outside curve of the road, and this is where people get lost - they overshoot it. If you find yourself at the Red Wind Casino, you went too far. In that event, follow step 3a below. Otherwise, follow step 3b. -3a. Turn around and go back the way you came, and then follow the signs to Tumwater and Lacey, which will have you turn left onto the Yelm Hwy.
