Robert (And anyone else who may have the same
question)

  The City is Eau Claire, WI.  Grid square: EN44.  Eau
Claire is located about an hour East of the MN-WI
border on I-94.  From I-94 (coming from the twin
cities) one would take the 59 exit, go East on 124
until you get to the first overpass (Clairmont Ave.),
here you would take the clairmont exit and swing right
onto Clairmont.  At the first lights, (across from
Menards) you would turn left onto Truax Blvd.  You
will see three crosses on top of a rise just to your
right on Truax.  The next road to the right is
Epiphany drive.  Turn there and go up the hill.  go
around the posts at the end of the drive and if you
want drive on out (to the right) to the site.  You can
also park in the church lot and walk out to the FD
site also.  

I hope this helps.  There are other ways to get here
from different directions, but this is the easiest
from the West.  If you find yourself in Eau Claire,
just find Clairmont Ave. and travel to the West side
on it until you find the Menards.  You will also see a
Pick-N-Save, Burger King, Superamerica (Speedway?) and
an Auto Glass Specialists. The other tell tale sign
that says you are close is the fact that we are going
to be located just to the West of the Eau Claire Water
Tower on the West side.  Look for the antennas.

For those beaming their way toward Eau Claire, The
Grid Square again is EN44.
