Morrissey for several miles - you will pass BC High. About 1/4 mile
after BC High, the road will split - the right is lower, the left goes

the Rotary, keeping fields on your right. Follow for about 1/2 mile,
still keeping fields and jungle gyms, etc, on your right. You will
come to another mini rotary. Picture that you approach this mini
rotary from 5:00, so exit at 1:00 (basically, you are kind of by
passing this rotary. Just past this (25 yards) you will see fields on
your right. Park on the road.
