One last time, The Map


Click for larger map.
Okay! Here's the map for the last time. Remember, this is a self-guided driving tour to studios in the community. Please be careful when you're driving these windy country roads. Exercise caution and politeness when meeting other drivers and walkers on the back roads. Our studios are located in rural settings with other farms and neighbors, so please be courteous to our neighbors. Don't walk across their properties, don't block driveways and park sensibly! Most of us and our neighbors have dogs so be aware of dogs that are loose and best to leave your pooch at home while you visit. Wear sunscreen but be prepared for pop-up thunderstorms. It's looking to be hot this weekend!
Looking forward to a great time!
