B964 is right. If you haven't been there before, Reade isn't what you'd call an easy place to find. Once you get there, its an excellent range, and one thing is for sure, we'll get lots of practice doping for wind. The wind up there never seems to stop.

If you plug these coordinates into Google Maps, they'll get you to the gate.

40.7298, -78.4287

See you there!
