DIRECTIONS
Do not follow Yahoo directions. We are not in the town of Stonefort, IL. If you put our address in your GPS, use Makanda, IL. Just be aware that our address is Makanda but we are not in the town of Makanda. The Makanda zip code covers a very large area, and we are not close to the actual town.

GPS adjustments:
Our address is 635 Robinson Hill Road-GPS only recognizes the 800 numbers. If you are north of us GPS will try to send you past our large sign on the right. If you are coming from the south, GPS will say you are there but you are not-drive another ½ mile up the hill and our sign into our driveway is on your left.
