Directions to River Queen Mine Area:

Exit from the Western Kentucky Parkway (closest to test):  Take  Exit 48 (Graham - between Pennyrile Pkwy. Exit and Greenville Exit) When you take this new exit, turn onto 175 North, go approximately 4.5 miles to the River Queen Mine Entrance.  This is a new exit which just opened at the end of September.  It will save you time and miles if you are coming east or west on the Western Ky. Pkwy.

or

From the Pennyrile Parkway at Madisonville:  Take Exit 42 at Madisonville onto Hwy. 70 E. (85).  Go 2.3 miles (at sawmill); turn right onto Hwy. 70E and go 6.5 miles to Hwy. 175.  Turn right; go 1 mile to River Queen/Vogue Mine Area signs at crossroads and follow signs to headquarters.

Directions to Blue Grass Training Area:

This is in Indiana even though it is called Blue Grass.  We will meet at the pipeline / electrical substation on Booneville New Harmony Road.  The easiest directions are:  From the south - take I-164 North around Evansville to the Booneville New Harmony Road exit.  Take this exit and head East on Booneville New Harmony Road.  You can see the electrical / pipeline substation from I-164.  It is about 1/2 mile down Booneville New Harmony Road.  The substation is on the right hand side of the road.  We will go to the training area from there.

Directions to Doctor Jenkin's farm in Onton, KY

Meet at the BP gas station in Sebree, KY.  The BP station is located on the corner of Hwy 56 and Hwy 41.  We will go to the training area from there. 

We have been having a pretty good turnout at these sessions.  Approximately 10-12 people have been participating.  We charge $5 per dog for Tri-State members, $10 per dog for non-members.  Everyone is welcome to come.
