Driving directions from Morgantown  -

I-68 to the Coopers Rock Exit.
Make left at the end of the exit and travel 0.14 miles to Old 73.
Make right on Old 73 and travel 0.5 miles to Chestnut Ridge Rd.
Make left on Chestnut Rd and travel 3.2 miles to the entrance of the WNPB
property which is hosting MWA Field Day and make a right.

The last mile or so of Chestnut Ridge rd is gravel.
