Signposts

It's a wonderful drive to Mount Hermon on a sunny day. But if you're going when it's dark (or rainy), please drive very carefully (read: obey speed limits). Here are some signs you'll see when you're near the campground.

	Highway 17 is the main road connecting San Jose with Santa Cruz. This two-lane road has many curves and can be slippery when wet. Please drive carefully. After the Scotts Valley Dr. exit, Mt Hermon Road will be the next exit in 2 miles. There is a curve right before the exit, so if you're not paying careful attention, you miss this exit.
	When you exit Highway 17 at Mt Hermon Road off-ramp, stay in the right lane. Turn right at the signal light.
	After driving for about 3 miles on Mt. Hermon Road, the road will turn sharply to the left. Immediately after this, turn left at the signal light to Graham Hill Road.
	Proceed one block and turn left on to Conference Drive. If you look carefully, there's a small "Mount Hermon" sign. (You should also see a "WCCCC" sign, too.)
	Pass the Mount Hermon sign and post office. (Don't park at the post office.)
	When you see a concrete road divider and the pedestrian crosswalk park your car in the main lot on your right. Newton Memorial is directly across the road. Registration check-in hours for December 26, 2003 - 2:00-5:45pm (after this time, proceed to dining hall or auditorium) - 9:30-10:00pm Try your best to arrive early. The Mount Hermon office closes promptly at 10pm (sorry, no "Chinese Time") and room keys will not be available after that.

Park in the main parking lot (follow the signs). Check-in at Newton Memorial (across the street)
Continue on Conference Drive after you pass the Mount Hermon sign and Post Office. Look for the large parking lot on your right.
