Using Gps To Reach Event?

Hello there colonists!

If you are new to the Ye Olde Commons larp site, and will be using GPS to reach the event this weekend, I thought this tidbit might be useful.

Your GPS is likely to lie to you, albeit only slightly.

The 120 address is correct, however most GPS units, as well as Google maps, will put the 120 street address a distance away from the actual camp.

YOC is well signed, and difficult to miss, so if your GPS says you have arrived and you find yourself just looking at a treeline, just keep going a little ways and you will in fact be there shortly.

From experience of wondering where the heck I was,

NOTE: If you come from Route 20 and cross a bridge over the Mass Pike, you have driven past the camp. Turn around and take the first left after the bridge.

@Erin - fixed! winking smiley

My GPS takes me the other way, actually. Basically, if you lose sight of the Pike, you're too far in either direction.

Pro tip head to cvs its across the street from the turn to head to u
Yoc, then follow that to a hill st(it begins with an s and is a major intersection on that rd) and then just follow that to northside(big stone wall and sign markers) and follow that to the pike beige and yoc is on the other side

Other pro tip. Cvs does carry milk and some snacks grocery and gatorade. There is also a wally world (Walmart) nearby as well ( on rt 20 at the fork by the gas station.)
Otherwise see you all tomorrow.
