Directions to our usual Palos Hills training meeting place at
Bullfrog and Maple Lake Parking Lot from Chicago:
From Interstate 55 exit LaGrange Road ( Route 45 ) south Go South on LaGrange
Road for 3.5 Miles Turn Right on 95th Street (West) Follow 95th Street about
a mile. The Entrance to the Bullfrog Lake Forest Preserve on the left is
right where 95th Street turns to the right. (If you go to the stop sign at
Archer Avenue, you went too far.) Go straight into the entrance. CAREFUL!!
This is a dangerous intersection. Turn Right into the first parking lot.
