Directions to the 3rd 3-Day ARIA event spectacular!

• Leave Atlanta on I-75 Northbound
• When you cross the Tennessee border, take I-24 Westbound (i.e. the left split)
• When you cross the Georgia border, take I-59 Southbound (i.e. the left split)
• Take exit number 2 (Trenton, GA)
• Turn left and cross the interstate until you reach a traffic signal (A Burger King will be to you left, a Bi-Lo to your right)
• Turn right and proceed a short ways to a flashing caution light
• Turn left. This road will wind its way up Lookout Mountain
• As soon as you take the 90-degree left turn at the top of Lookout, you have a choice:

  a) Turn right onto Sunset Drive and drive, drive, drive until you see our mailbox (marked with balloons and stuff (maybe even a sign). Mailbox is #405 (or maybe 632, I don't know if we've redone the numbers since they changed our address). The house sits about 500 feet off the road to the left.

  OR

  b) Continue straight ahead until you pass the entrance to Cloudland Canyon State Park on your left. At the top of this hill, turn right onto Cherokee Trail.

  Follow Cherokee Trail (be careful of the swastika shaped intersection, follow the portion you are already on)

  To confirm you went the proper way (and for your angsty viewing pleasure) the next road on the right should be Haven Street (or Drive, or something). Don't take it though, continue straight ahead, until you reach a T-intersection (with a house almost directly in front of you). Turn right onto Sunset Drive (the sign will say Plum Nelly, but trust me, a right turn will get you onto Sunset (a left, however _will_ put you onto Plum Nelly).

  Continue a few miles until you find our mailbox (decorated as mentioned before). The house sits about 500 feet off the road to the right.

The 3-day will officially run from the morning of Dec. 31st to sometime on January 2nd. The house will be open for anyone who wants to arrive on the 30th (my 22nd birthday) and for those who wish to get one more night's sleep before parting.

If you get lost or need other assistance call: (706)398-1760
If you are hopelessly in need of assistance: (706)657-8664 This number is our daycare center, ask for Claudia (my mom) or Sue.

What to bring: cost for the 3-day ends up around $15 a head, based mostly off of how much my parents spend feeding us. $15 is a good number though. You will also want some money for our traditional outing to eat 3-pound hamburgers at Randy's. If you're low on money, don't worry. Eat it in 30 minutes, and it's free. Bring sleeping bag, pillow, toiletries, and a flashlight. Josh reminds everyone to bring every video game and gaming system that they own. Extra TVs would be nice. I'm sure there is other stuff, but use some common sense and everything should be fine.
