It was interesting driving directly to the new site on Sunday and staying
there. I thought, perhaps this is how pigeons feel when they've landed in
the wrong spot? Anyway, I'm being honest that it feels a little weird at
the new location. However, we'll make it home.
The left turn is at the round steel post that's about 3' tall. We pass it
all the time.
If any one's concerned about making the turn directly with their RV or
trailer (having to go over the bump between the lanes), I suggest going to
the old site that's flat, making a U-turn and approaching the new turn from
the opposite direction.
I'll have cones and reflectors at the left turn and you would have to be
going 90 mph to miss it.
