How do I get there ?

The actual address will probably not be in your GPS unit. The intersection at the northeast corner of the farm is
Saddleclub Road
and
Log Cabin Lane
Bonnie
, IL
(or Opdyke or Belle Rive depending on your GPS unit)

From I-57 go east on I-64 at exit 92. Get off at exit 80 and take Illinois Highway 37 south 4 miles to County Road 600N also known as Saddle Club Road. Go east almost 5 miles and turn right in the drive at Grandpa Robert's

Quick update

I've not been able to post anything for a couple weeks due to some internet problems.  If you are on the Facebook group you have probably been keeping up with what Becky and others are posting there.  It is a closed group, so if you are not a member that link may not work.  Email me or Becky and we'll get you on there.

Plans are progressing toward the first weekend in August.  A quick note, the bridge on Illinois 37 just off I-64 is closed for construction.  It is supposed to be open by the 26th of July.  One of the crew told me it WOULD be open by then, because if it was late it was $5000 a day for not being completed on time.    The best way around it is go back up 37 towards Mt Vernon, turn right at the stoplight where Huck's is and go east on 142 to the Log Cabin Road.  Watch for the Smith Cemetery sign.  Or you could get off I-57 at exit 94 and take Veteran's Memorial Drive.  It becomes 142 at Huck's.  Here's a map:

See you at the farm!
