WARNING!!!  the entire parking lot of the SOB Barn is torn up.

Directions to new parking:
From Main, on 19th, go to the 2nd street after College (I think it's the 4th left turn lane) That's Lincoln.
Turn left onto Lincoln toward campus.
Turn left at the first drive, where the sign says:
ASMSU Outdoor Recreation Center (low, blue building with white metal roof.)

The driveway jogs. Turn left at the stop sign and curve right with the road.
You'll see the back of the barn. Park there or on the west side of the barn (same parking lot.)
Go from the parking lot around the west side of the building to our usual entrance.
Admire the red setting sun through the smoke.

If you come from campus on 11th, Lincoln is between Garfield St. and Town & Country Grocers, at the stop sign.
Turn Right onto Lincoln and then right again after all of the parking lots.
It's the last drive on the right, just before the blue and white ASMSU Outdoor Recreation building.
