Meet either 7:15 a.m. at the Sam's Club parking lot off of Bloomfield Road, for carpooling, or 9 a.m. at the Muscatatuck NWR visitor center.
DIRECTIONS:
For the Sam's Club lot - from I-69 southbound, the next exit after 3rd St is for state route 45, Bloomfield Rd. Don't take the ramp going right for 45 southwest bound, take the straight portion, right lane, and wait for the light, to go across Bloomfield/45, and it will take you to the back of the Sam's Club parking lot. Look for a gray 4-door sedan parked in the lot with a tripod placed on its roof. People carpooling for the SAS Muscatatuck trip will consolidate there into fewer cars to save gas, and to save parking space at Muscatatuck.
For people preferring to drive without car pool, Muscatatuck is a short distance east of Seymour off U.S. 50. For most folks in the Bloomington area, the shortest route is state route 46 east to eventually reach I-65, go south on I-65 to U.S. Route 50, go west on US 50 about 3 miles, watch for sign for Muscatatuck on the right, turn right, go about 1/2 mile to the entrance for the visitor center on the right, and go about 0.1 mi. to the lot for the visitor center. Driving time from Bloomington typically about 1 hour 10 or 15 minutes, depending on where you are in Bloomington and depending on traffic.
