From New Stanton-70 East to exit for PA toll 66 toward Delmont
Follow 66 toll to Delmont,---Where toll road ends in Delmont, it becomes Route 66 north.
Keep going on 66 North all the way to Apollo, approximately 12  miles to Apollo
(when you get to a Y in the road, just past State Police barracks, stay to the RIGHT.) Follow this road (still route 66) until you come down a hill, cross railroad tracks, and then cross the bridge.

***Note, you will pass a BP station before going down the hill to Apollo
DO NOT TURN ONTO ALT. 66 HERE, KEEP GOING DOWN THE HILL , ACROSS THE TRACKS, ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO THE LIGHT, AND MAKE A LEFT (YOU ARE NOW IN APOLLO) AND FOLLOW THE RIVER TO VANDERGRIFT. 
Follow Route 66 north, along the river, until you come to another stop light, (it is approximately 2 miles)
(Vandergrift Bridge will be on your left, you want to make a right onto Alternate 66 North. (this is Dime Road).

Office/Home is approximately 3 miles out Dime Road...you will see a red brick church on your left, start watching for a closed up gas station on your right. Our home/office is across from the station. Sign in front of house says CousinsCompany.Com.

If coming from Pittsburgh/Monroeville area...best way is from Route 22, to 286, to 380..toward Apollo. 380 exit to Apollo/Vandergrift will bring you onto Rt. 66.
Go north on 66 (to the right) and then follow the directions above.

If coming from Route 28, north of us...Ford City exit off of 28, follow 66 South toward Leechburg/Apollo.
Follow RT 66 south approx 9-10 miles, you will pass Garda's restaurant, a closed up water slide, Crooked Creek Market and Myrt's café, and you will see Alternate 66 turn to the left. We are 4 miles from the turn off.
Slow down just past a small business PC fix-computer repair...which is on the right, we are the next house that you can see from the road.

Office/Home is approximately 3 miles out Dime Road...you will see a red brick church on your left, start watching for a closed up gas station on your right. Our home/office is across from the  station. Sign in front of house says CousinsCompany.Com.

It is a BIG gray house, parking area just past the house on front side for the office. The party will up on the hill past our barn, (yes, it is a very long, dirt driveway). The road up the hill is just before our house, so you can either make a very sharp turn up the hill, or drive just past the house, turn around in the lot across the road, and come back around and up the hill.

You don't need to have 4 wheel drive, but the road is rough...low sitting cars may bump bottom. Take the drive slowly and watch for the high spots. If you would prefer not to drive up the hill, you can park at the house, and call my cell. Someone will be glad to come down and pick you up.

ANY MORE INFO NEEDED, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL 724-316-1944. If you get voicemail, please leave a number...it's going to be a busy week~

I do believe I'll make it down, at least for a bit, and Michael may be joining us, as well.  I have no idea what I'll be able to throw together, but I'll come up with something. 

See you all soon!
