Take exit 27 or 25 from I95/I495 (Washington Beltway) south onto US Rt. 1
towards College Park (coming from Baltimore/I95  going south, it will
be called exit 27, if you are on the Beltway (495) going East or West, 
they are simply exit 25).

After about 1 mile going south on Rt. 1 (Baltimore Ave), take MD-193 West,
a right lane exit just before the 193 overpass. You are on University Blvd now,
going west into the sunset. It's a 4-line road with a grassy median.

Go through one traffic light, make a U-turn at the next traffic light,
the Arena (Terrapin Trail) Parking Garage will then be the first exit 
on your right hand side.

Use the pedestrian walkway to walk straight towards the gym. The North
Gym is the huge building on your left, CRC is a newer gym on your right.

We are on the 2nd (top) floor of the North Gym, right above from where
you entered the building from parking lot SS1. Parking on weekends is
mostly free (but not friday night before 10pm). You can also enter
campus proper and find parking on your own, but carefully obey the
posted parking rules. Most meters on friday are enforced until 10pm, and
parking rules are aggressively enforced.


A comment for all you mapquest users: although the gym has a street
address (Valley Drive, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742)
mapquest does not know it. Besides, the description above is not
something you cannot easily pull out of Mapquest. It's where computers 
still break down.  Mapsonus.switchboard.com was able to find the road,
but since it's split in two, it actually points to the wrong place.

We also have a direct google link with satellite imagery to the gym,
so you can't really get lost anymore :-)
