Proceed about 1/4 mile.  Bear right as the road becomes Glenshire Drive.  Proceed about a mile to the top of the hill.  First right on Whitehorse.  Enter key code #2327 at the Damn Gate to The Meadows, a lifestyle control community of which the Tavans are not members.  Through the gate, take the immediate right on Stallion.  Proceed about a mile, getting light air on three nasty speed bumps.  First right on Filly (a Lane or a Way depending on whom you believe).  Two blocks to a cul-de-sac.  First driveway on the right is 12921.

Park at the bottom near the garage or in the pullout at th etop of the driveway.  If this all fills up, park in the cul-de-sac.  I'll warn the neighbors who are Good People.  Carpools are encouraged and more fun anyway.
