From I95 coming from the South:
Bear says
the simplest and probably the quickest way to Terenelf is below:
*I-95
to Maryland exit 109b
*MD 279
north past the TA truckstop, to the second traffic light (Wawa on
left hand side on corner). Turn left (West) onto MD 277.
*MD 277
to the flashing yellow light. (Keep to the 30mph speed limit on
this road. I haven't
seen anyone pulled over yet, but this is also one of
the few stretches of road
upon which I NEVER see anyone speed.) Turn
right (north) onto Appleton
Rd.
*Appleton
Rd. north through 3 stop signs (last stop sign intersection
crosses MD 273). After
3rd sign, continue on Appleton Rd. about 1.7 miles.
JUST BEFORE crossing the
state line into PA (marked by small blue "welcome to PA" sign on right
and the change in pavement) Elbow Lane will suddenly come up on the right.
Turn right onto Elbow Lane.
*Elbow
Lane about 200 yds, then veer left at the fork onto Flint Hill Rd.
*Follow
Flint Hill Rd through two stop signs. At the third stop sign,
turn right onto Good Hope
Rd.
*Follow
Good Hope Rd. (a windy twisty thing) about 2 miles. During this time
you will go downhill and cross a stream which is part of the White Clay
Creek Preserve. It is marked as such on the right by a wooden sign
with
yellow lettering. After
crossing the stream, you will soon begin to go
uphill. You crest the
hill and IMMEDIATELY on the left hand side is a road with a building behind
it which looks about the size of a converted one room schoolhouse with
lots of floor-to-ceiling windows facing you. Turn left onto the road
(North Bank Rd) in front of it.
*Follow
North Bank Rd. through two stop signs. About a 1/2 of a mile after
the second stop sign, North Bank Rd. comes to a "T" in the road where it
intersects with Auburn Rd. Turn right onto Auburn Rd.
*Follow
Auburn Rd. about a half mile. You will drive down into a creek
valley with a earthen bank
on your left and a yellow "squiggly arrow" (curvy road) sign on your right.
Lois' place will be on the left just after the sign; a hidden driveway,
254 Auburn Rd. Turn left up the drive and you've
made it!
Another way from the south:
I95 north to Route 7 north. Stay on Route 7 until you pass the intersection
for Toute 72. In about a mile or two, look for Farm Meadows Nursery
and turn left in front of it at that light onto Little Baltimore Road.
Stay on Little Baltimore (it turns into Newark Rd.) and turn left onto
Laurel Heights Road. At the end of Laurel Heights, turn right onto
Penn Green Road and go 500 feet. Turn left on Auburn Road.
It is #254, the third drive on the right. Fox on sign at end of drive.
