Directions:
If you are coming up I-95 take Exit 74 (Flanders & Niantic, Route 161).
RIGHT off the exit, follow the signs for CAMP RELL (National Guard Camp).
LEFT on Smith Street.
LEFT on Pine Grove Road.
Go past the Convoy and Delivery Entrance on Pine Grove Road (Keep chain link fence on your right).
At the stop either go straight or right, to the 3rd house, it is white.
An alternative route is: You can also get off of I 95 on to Route 1 Exit 70.....follow Route 1 North as it zigs and zags to route 161 (Shell Station on left, Brooks Drug on right)...right on 161 south to Niantic.....go under I-95...follow signs to Camp Rell. I-95 can back up, so this is about 15 minutes longer, but saves the stop and go in weekend shoreline traffic. Very nice ride through Devil's Hopyard State Park off Route 82, then pick up 156 south to Route 1 north....etc
Hope to see you there! nhoJ
