The basic routine for you will be first dropping off Benjamin downtown (anytime between 7:45 and 9:00), then Zander out at CFS. Unfortunately, we're not sure how much margin there is before that time; hopefully we'll find out on Monday, and I'll update this. If you drop off Benjamin at 8:30, though, you should get to CFS right around 8:55 or so.
- Benjamin goes to daycamp at Central Park School for Children, in downtown Durham.
- Zander goes to daycamp at CFS, out towards the wilderness between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough.
- Josh goes to daycamp at Forest Hills (Mel can walk him there, so you don't have to worry about this).
Directions
From Dorothy's to Central Park:
- Go left on Shepherd St.
- Go straight several blocks to Morehead
- Turn right on Morehead
- Turn left (at 2nd light) onto Duke St.
- Duke street goes up, crosses Chapel Hill St., starts heading down, crosses railroad tracks, crosses ? Street, ? Street - sign on the building says "West Village" - take the next right, on Corporation (or is it Fernway?) -- kids can help point this out.
- Go to the end of Corporation (ends at Morgan St.)
- Turn left on Morgan Street
- Go down to bottom of Morgan, pass old Durham Bulls ball park on right, take right immediately after that - Vickers
- At next light (Foster), turn left -- school is first large brick building on the right. Park in lot below building and walk Benjamin in (Zander usually comes along).
from Central Park to CFS
- Turn right out of Central Park parking lot and go to traffic light; turn left onto Trinity
- Go through next traffic light, under railroad bridge, to next traffic light (Duke St.)
- Turn right on Duke Street
- Go about a mile to bridge over I-85 -- keep in right lane and get onto I-85 South
- Go about 5 miles; you'll be heading out beyond Durham a bit; after the 15-501 / Hillsborough Rd. exit, I-85 goes down to two lanes each way. The next exit after that is NC 70 - exit there and go to the first light
- First light is at Mount Herman Rd.; turn left there.
- Mt. Herman winds around a bit, goes over railroad tracks, crosses NC 10, winds around some more, and finally comes to a 4-way intersection with a flashing red light (Murphy School Rd.)
- Turn right on Murphy School Rd.
- Take the next left -- Friends School Road.
- FS Road goes down for awhile, then starts up -- CFS is soon after, on the right.
- Zander can show you which building he's going to (it's the lower school building).
from CFS to Chapel Hill (assuming you'll want to go back to familiar territory next)
- Go right from the CFS driveway (onto Friends School Road)
- FS Road ends at Mt. Moriah Road; turn right.
- Drive several miles, winding around a lot, until you get to the stop sign at NC 86 (Allen's BBQ is on opposite side)
- Turn left on NC 86 and drive several miles past farms and small lakes; this eventually becomes MLK Drive aka Historic Airport Road when it crosses I-40.
