Driving directions from Manhattan: Take the George Washington Bridge Upper level and stay to the right, first exit on right to the Palisades Parkway North. Follow the signs to the Thruway 87 North (Albany), the exit is 9W (though it is the second 9W you will pass). Follow 87N to exit 18. At the signal, turn left onto 32, continuing through the town of New Paltz. After you pass the downtown area, drive over the bridge and make the first right. (follow signs for Mohonk mountain house) After about a half a mile, the road forks stay left (follow Mohonk Signs). From the fork, (set your odometer) follow the road over a mountain pass for 5.2 miles. A (very) small sign to Alligerville marks the next left. Follow this road for 2.4 miles until you hit a stop sign at the Lucas Turnpike. Go left and proceed for 2.2 miles until the road ends at Highway 209. Make a left, and after about a block, take the first right, just after the Sunoco gas station and PxMart onto Upper Whitfield Road. Drive 1.4 miles to Lower Whitfield Road and go left at the intersection (facing traffic has a stop sign, you don't). From this intersection, drive 1.2 miles to Store Road (the road is unmarked) and make a right. About 150 feet down on the right, the 6th mailbox (or group of them), is the house--26a Store Road. We are the stone, low-rise house in front, adjacent to a large stone barn. [approximate map] (noah, 11/30/2002 10:39:35 AM .)
