From 460 (coming from Lynchburg) - turn south on 581 and stay on 581 until the Colonial Avenue Exit (first exit past the downtown exit). Stay in right-lane and turn right on Colonial Avenue. (Tower Mall). Colonial dead-ends at Brandon - turn left at Brandon. Stay on Brandon - past Patrick Henry High School (Brandon/Grandin) and at the next stop light, turn left onto Mud Lick. My address is 3571 Mud Lick and is on the right hand side of the street.

From Salem: Either come directly on Apperson - or take 419 to Apperson. Turn left on Apperson and continue on Apperson until the street immediately before Brandon Oaks Retirement Home. There is no stop light at the turn, but an overhead warning that flashes during "rush hours" - the street is Deyerle - turn right on Deyerle. Continue until the four-way stop at Deyerle and Mud Lick. Turn Left on Mudlick - my house is on the left and the first house past the corner house.

From 220 South (Martinsville area): Continue on 220 (which becomes 581) and stay on 581 until the Colonial/Wonju exit.

There are two stone columns and an iron gate - which I will have open.

From 221 South: - (which turns into Brambleton) - Cross 419 and continue until the Kroger Store on Garst Mill Rd. Turn left on continue on Garst Mill Rd. until you reach the point where Garst Mill and Grandin Rd. meet - If you continue straight you are on Grandin Rd. If you turn left, Grandin Rd. Extension goes sharply to the left. Make a left turn, but instead of turning on Grandin Rd. Extension - stay to the right and turn on the street that goes up the hill. At the top of the hill, you will come to a three-way stop - turn left (Windsor) and stay on Windsor for about 1/2 block. First street you come to, turn right. Stay on this street until the 4-way stop at Deyerle & Mud Lick. Turn right onto Mud Lick and my house is 3571 Mud Lick. If you miss the turn off Windsor - don't worry - just stay on Windsor until Windsor dead-ends into Mud Lick (Windsor Methodist Church is on the right) - Turn right. Go straight at the 4-way stop at Deyerle & Mud Lick. My house is on the left.
