Travel Advisory: Members who routinely arrive at the club from State College via Cricklewood Drive through Toftrees may be interested in a faster and safer route. From Waddle Road, turn onto Toftrees Ave. (as before), then STAY on Toftrees Ave. until you arrive at Fox Hollow Road. When the new traffic light turns green, turn left, and you'll be at the club in 7 minutes. (No more risking your life trying to make a left from Cricklewood Drive onto Fox Hollow Road during peak evening traffic.)
The Route 550 / Fillmore Road intersection is now OPEN. No more detour. You will barely recognize the new intersection!
The new Route 550/Fillmore Road intersection as seen from Fillmore Road when traveling back from the club toward State College. (Turn left to go to Bellefonte; turn right to head toward Skytop Mountain; go straight to head toward the airport.)

A few years ago PA DOT built us a new bridge (near the Fillmore Road/550 intersection); then Benner Township paved Purdue Mountain Road up to the club driveway; last year Benner Township resurfaced the Unionville Pike from Valley View Road up to Purdue Mountain Road; now PA DOT has completely redesigned the 550/Fillmore Road intersection, Benner Township has resurfaced all of Purdue Mountain Road, and the Unionville Pike has finally been repaved from the top of Purdue Mountain down into Unionville. NEXT YEAR WE SHOULD ASK PA DOT FOR AN "OSC EXIT" SIGN ON I99!
