If the guard asks you to stop, please comply with the request and explain your destination. Continue along Contees Wharf. After an initial right turn and quite a few other curves, you will cross a bike path and then come to another stop sign.  Turn right at this sign toward the Administration Building and Mathias Center.  After the right-hand turn, continue until you reach a second stop sign.  Again take a right. You will immediately see parking areas on both sides of the road. You may park in any open spot, but the preferred spots are on the left-hand side near the brick gate and are marked with signs for “Chesapeake Research Consortium.”After you have parked, walk along the asphalt entrance road through the opening in the red brick wall.  A white concrete sidewalk splits off to the left just beyond the garden. Follow that walk to the door immediately before you marked “Security.”  Enter there, continue through the short hallway and exit the building.Our trailer is immediately to your right. You can see our front door as you exit the Security office. Come right in!
