ParticipantCan some one please post directions to The Farm School. A lot of us will be coming down Interstate 91. We have some coming from NY state, Maine, and NH.
Thanks
Jean
It is going to be a good group of people. Better start getting some trees down!

ParticipantAre any of the main roads in the area still washed out/closed from Irene? Specifically any between Manchester and Athol?

ParticipantCarl, Do you have any intel on that route you posted? All those roads makes me nervous. Have you been down that route? No covered bridges, washed out roads or class 6 deer trails?

I’m just driving to Athol….. there can’t be any roads washed out, can there???? I used to be a log buyer in my former life, so I rarely think about those details….. I just pick a location and drive there.
Google maps give pretty good detail, so once you’ve located the Farm School, you should be able to pick the route that make the most sense to you.

December 5, 2011 at 4:55 pm #70607ParticipantDo any of you see any potential issues with the directions Google gave me from the Manchester Airport to Athol (& back)?
Thanks in advance for taking a look!
Link to Scott’s directions to Athol during the wee hours of Friday morning 🙂

Looks about right to me…. just make sure you ask for an SUV (:p)….. No I’m sure you’ll be fine with that route.

Going as cheap as I can get. Chevy Aveo (or equivalent), regardless it is a rental so I’m obligated to catch major air with all 1.6liters of raw power. No bridges needed! 😎
December 6, 2011 at 2:46 am #70609ParticipantScott, you know the car rental trick to try to upgrade you when they don’t have any more of the Aveos. Say no, and 9 out o 10 times they will have to upgrade you for no up charge. Just hope the only car left is not the 18 passenger van. I ended up with one of those in AZ.

ModeratorAll the roads to the farm school are in good shape, here are the directions from the website:
http://www.farmschool.org/contact_drive.html
488 Moore Hill Road
Athol, MA 01331DRIVING DIRECTIONS
Driving directions from Boston:
Take Route 2 West past Templeton. Not long after you pass the exits for Templeton, Route 2 will narrow from 4 lanes to 2. Shortly after that, take the first exit for ATHOL (marked: Athol, Route 2A). At the end of the ramp, go LEFT onto Route 2A west. Follow 2A down through Athol straight through the stoplight in the center of town (about 3 miles). After 1/4 mile, cross the bridge and turn RIGHT just before the “Country Convenience” store/Citgo station onto North Orange Road. After a couple of hundred yards, bear RIGHT at the first Y in the road, and proceed with the graveyard to your left and river on your right. After about 3/4 of a mile, turn LEFT onto Brooks Road. Pass one house on the right and take your next LEFT and go steeply up Moore Hill Road. Continue RIGHT onto Sentinel Elm Road, a dirt road. Finally, follow the sign for Farm School Parking into the lot on the right and walk up to the bunkhouse on the hill.Directions from the West:
Take Route 2 East to the exit that says “Rt. 202, Athol, Belchertown” (lovely!). Turn right at the bottom of the exit ramp. Continue until the road makes a T next to McDonald’s and turn right (which puts you on Rt. 2A in Athol traveling east). Just after the “Country Convenience” store/Citgo station on the left, take a LEFT and head towards North Orange. After a couple of hundred yards, bear RIGHT at the first Y in the road, and proceed with the graveyard to your left and river on your right. After about 3/4 of a mile, turn LEFT onto Brooks Road. Pass one house on the right and take your next LEFT and go steeply up Moore Hill Road. After the road levels out and takes a sharp right it becomes Sentinel Elm Road, a dirt road. Finally, follow the sign for Farm School Parking into the lot on the right and walk up to the bunkhouse at the top of the driveway (directly across from the big white barn). - AuthorPosts
