 From the 14 Freeway, exit at Avenue G, 2 miles north of Lancaster. 
Turn east on Avenue G and go about two miles to a stop sign at Sierra 
Hwy. Continue east on Avenue G about one mile, crossing over Sierra

those who wish to arrive early for practice. If you wish to arrive 
earlier, contact me in advance, and I'll give you the combination to 
the lock (just don't tell anyone!).
