Head WEST on M-32 out of Gaylord.
Turn LEFT (SOUTH) onto Hayes Tower Rd.
Take Hayes Tower SOUTH to Old Alba Rd.
Turn RIGHT (WEST) onto Old Alba Rd.
Turn LEFT (SOUTH) onto first road, Tall Timber Trail.
Follow around sharp right hand turn. House is on left hand side of road when going WEST.

That's the directions for getting to it from the northern side of Gaylord.
Ok, here's the directions for the south side of town.
If getting off of South Bound I-75, turn RIGHT onto S Otsego Ave, (AKA Old 27 S).
If getting off of North Bound I-75, turn LEFT onto S Otsego Ave (AKA Old 27 S), over the Overpass.
In both cases head away from Marathon and Shell.
Turn RIGHT at light onto W Otsego Lake Dr.
Follow around sharp left over railroad tracks.
Turn RIGHT onto Old Alba Rd at sign for Northland Sportsmans Club.
Take Old Alba Rd through fourway stop at Hayes Tower Rd.
Turn LEFT onto first road past Hayes Tower, Tall Timber Trail.
Follow around sharp right hand turn. House is on left hand side of road when going WEST.
Incidentally, when heading WEST on Old Alba from the south side of town. Pauls shop is on the right hand side on Pine Grove Rd, right past Dorothy Drive. Follow Pine Grove to cul-de-sac, his house and shop are on the left. Shop is unmarked but there is a split rail fence and a large wooden gate between garage and house.
If coming from M-32 to Hayes Tower. Turn LEFT onto Old Alba from Hayes Tower. Pine Grove is on left hand side.
Hope these helped, see ya'll tomorrow.

Sorry it took me a while to post the directions, but I had a lightning bolt issue and just got my computer and internet back up.
If you are coming from the Souteast part of the state:
Grom wherever you are, find I75 North. Take it to the 1st Gaylord exit, #279. Turn Left and go until you get to the first light. Tunr right, this is West Otsego Lake Drive. Follow this road over the railroad tracks, past Dickerson (1st real road on the right) until you come to Old Alba. There is a sign for the Northland Sportmens Club (it is also the 2nd real road on the right. Follow Old Alb to the stop sign, about 5 or 6 miles. Cross the road (Hayes Tower) and continue for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. Turn left on Tall Timber TRail. Follow the road for a 1/4 of a mile and then go right. Go roughly another 1/4 of a mle to the OP. After the turn it is the 3rd house, 4th driveway on the left.
For those coming up US 127 (or US 27) from the Lanisng area:
Follow US127 North until it converges with I75 North and then follow the directions from the 1st Gaylord exit.
And finally, for those coming from tthe Southwest part of the state taking US131:
Follow US131 north until you get to Mancelona. Turn right at the 1st light, this is Mancelona road. There will be a M60 tank on your right when you turn. Follow this road for about 15 miles or so. You will go through a series of hills and when you are going down a hill that curves left and then right, Hayes Tower will be on your left when the road straightens out. Turn left and follow Hayes Tower for about 7 to 10 miles until you come to a stop sign. Turn left and go 1/2 to 3/4 and turn left on Tall Timber Trail. Turn left and go to where the road "t";s and turn right. Go down for about a 1/4 mile to the house. It is the 4th driveway, or 3rd house, on the left.
If you need help, or get misguided, my home number is 989-731-9656 or call my cell at 989-614-1178.
See you all in the morning!!

Talisman here! As of 7:30 this morning, temperatures are 49-52 degrees, sunny sky not a cloud in sight! Someone's smiling down on us for today's event =D
Hope to see y'all out there! Oh, and on your drive in... It looks like there is going to be some runners that you'll have to avoid, they do some marathons out this way.

I concur with the big man. No police, Ambulance, nor firemen had to be called - That's a success in my book ;p
Everything went well... had a SNAFU with our second mission... Tali's fault, totally. In the end tho, Hopefully everyone had a good time! As dog stated, we're looking into next month, so stay tuned for more from ToW!
Also - To the under 18 crowd... You guys preformed very maturely, acted mature, and overall made me feel good about making the decision to lower the age limit. Thank you!
Pictures and Video will be uploaded when ICE and DamoDK manage to get em up on the web! Great job to our resident reporters =D

I had a great time out there today. The field was awesome, a great deal of variety and good cover. The ferns totally changed up the experience, kinda like raptors in the long grass going for the kill! And the missions were fun. I think that future Op's from Theater of War have great potential, just don't burn out the thinking cap, eh Tali?
