Meriweather post is on the SOUTH side of the city. You want to turn on "South Entrance Road" or toward "Harper's Choice". **THERE IS A DETOUR ON ROUTE 32 WEST FROM ROUTE 95** The signs are fairly good, but please find road names and milages at the end of this article. **ROUTE 29 INTERSECTS BOTH 70 AND 40 WEST OF BALTIMORE** If you are coming in on 70 or 40 from the west you can save much time and gas by getting on Route 29 southbound here. I odometered 4.6 miles from this intersection to the Columbia south entrance road. Details of route 32 detour: from 95 take exit 38B west which is route 32. About 1.7 miles from after this you are forced off of the superhighway. At the end of the exit ramp you must make a choice, and it is *NOT* very well marked. ** YOU WANT TO GO LEFT (SOUTH) ** ********** DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GO RIGHT (NORTH) ********** ********** --- --- ********** I tried to scope out the right fork today, and found, to my horror, that not only does it go in exactly the wrong direction (east) but THERE IS NO WAY TO GET BACK - SAWHORSES, 55 GALLON OIL DRUMS, BLINKING YELLOW LIGHTS, THE WHOLE BIT. I eventually found my way back to 29, but this is a hassle you do not need. Okay, so when you get to the end of the off ramp turn left and go only 0.7 miles (under the main road) then a sign says WEST 32 TO 29 and you turn right (west) onto Gilford. Take that road 1.1 miles until you see the sign that says DETOUR WEST 32. Go all the way to the "road closed" sign before takeing this left turn. Only 0.3 miles west and you will be at the 29 intersection, which is SOUTH of the Columbia entrance. Turn right (north) onto 29, go under the still-unfinished route 32, then 2.2 miles north on 29 gets you to the entrance. There is one small green "Meriweather Post Pavilion" sign before the road on each direction of 29. Don't miss it. If you are coming from the north, take the exit AFTER the town centre exit. If you are coming from the south and see the town centre exit, you have gone too far, turn around and go back south. Look for a sign that says South Entrance Road or Harper's Choice or Meriweather Post Pavilion. See y'all there (if my tickets come through).
