[Choir] Reminder: Choir pre-season gathering - directions, instructions

[Brenda J Bean]

We are looking forward to the choir gathering tomorrow, Saturday, at 370
Dodge Farm Road in Berlin.  Directions are attached and embedded in the
email below.  As Lani wrote earlier:  

“The date is September 10

The time is 1:00 to 5:00 pm [likely earlier]

Please plan to self-test that morning 

 

We'll have a pot-luck lunch followed by singing.

If you have a folding chair would you pop it in the car in case we need more
seating, please?  You may also want to bring a sweater or jacket depending
on the weather.”  See you soon!  Directions:

 

Directions to 370 Dodge Farm Road in Berlin, VT (mailing address Barre,
05641)

 

Brenda’s Version

 

In Berlin, shortly after driving past the Edward F. Knapp State Airport
headed toward Barre, you come to a sharp turn in the road to the left,
preceded slightly by a right-hand intersection with Scott Hill Road.  Turn
right onto Scott Hill Road.    

 

If you drove straight ahead instead of going left or taking the right-hand
turn, you would drive into Dodge Farm.  Since 2010 Dodge Farm has been
sub-divided into a working farm on conserved land and a small housing
development (to help pay for the conservation).  Dodge Farm Road is the
entry to the Dodge Farm development.  From the Airport Road, Dodge Farm Road
is the first one to the left off Scott Hill Road.  Dodge Farm Road is very
obvious from the line of 10 black mailboxes at its intersection with Scott
Hill Road.  

 

SPECIAL NOTE:  From the Airport Road, if you continued on Scott Hill Road
past Dodge Farm Road, you would fairly soon notice that you are driving
parallel to I-89 on the left.  Then you would pass the Berlin Corner
Cemetery on the right before you arrive at the intersection where the
businesses of Applebees and 802 Honda (and others) are easily accessed from
exit #7 of I-89.  So, if you reach that intersection, you have gone too far.


 

Or perhaps you are travelling in the other direction, coming to see us from
exit 7 or from the Paine Turnpike, which is the road coming up from
Montpelier on the opposite side of the intersection from Scott Hill Road.
(One could turn off the Paine Turnpike and, driving toward the Central
Vermont Medical Center, proceed directly on/to the Airport/Fisher Road.  If
you do that, return to the directions at the top of this page.)        

 

If you are coming from exit 7 on I-89, turn right at the first intersection,
beside Applebee’s.  Continue past the Irving gas/convenience store (with the
Shaw’s supermarket across the street), past the church and the Berlin Corner
Cemetery on the left, travel briefly parallel to I-89 as you continue on
Scott Hill Road (also called Paine Turnpike), until you come to the row of
10 black mailboxes on your right at the bottom of Dodge Farm Road. 

 

Dodge Farm Road is a dirt road that is part of the Town of Berlin’s
right-of-way to its water tank (further up the hill and not visible from the
development).  This “Water Way” includes a large gravel area (formerly a
grassed-in circle) with a right-hand fork and a left-hand fork.  This area
is about ¼ mile up from Scott Hill Road.  From there, you can see the green
metal roof of our home at 370 Dodge Farm Road, to the right.  Take the
right-hand fork to reach it, another ¼ mile away and at the very end of that
fork.   

 

Phil’s Version

Heading from Montpelier up to Berlin:

Arrive at the intersection of Vt62 and Fisher Road near CVMC.

Head southeast toward Airport on Airport Rd.

Pass by the airport buildings and continue for about 1/2 mile.

Turn right onto Scot Hill Rd (you could come from the other end of Scot Hill
Rd by continuing on past Berlin Shaws).

Once on Scot Hill Rd, continue for 1/4 mile and turn left on Dodge Farm Rd.

Go up Dodge Farm Rd about 1/4 mile to an open gravel area, cross that gravel
area and bear right. There will be a modern design home on right. Continue
and you will see a log cabin home with a green metal roof. That’s us. Call
if you get close and need help.
