Drive about 6 1/2 miles to the town of Rosendale. You'll come down a big hill, there'll be a shopping area on your right, then two gas stations. Take a RIGHT after the gas station on your right, which will put you going past a 3rd gas station, a Stewarts. This is Main St. in Rosendale, also known as Route 213.- Go through the town of Rosendale. (You're driving on Main St. a.k.a. Route 213.) After .7 mile, just before the train trestle, take a LEFT on the small bridge onto Keator Ave. Take your first RIGHT to curve UP around a big Catholic church. This is still Keator Ave. (total dist on Keator 3/10 of a mile)- As you're going up the hill around the church, the main road will bear left (Elting), Mountain Road will go straight. Go STRAIGHT on Mountain Road for 4/10 of a mile.- You'll go over a small hill crest, and come down the other side. After that, the first road on your right with a sign on it should be BURR'S CROSSING. Take a RIGHT on Burr's Crossing. You're now 1 mile away.- Burr's Crossing becomes a dirt road after you pass one driveway on your right. BEAR RIGHT when there's a house straight in front of you. (The red barn will be a little behind you on your left when you bear right.)- 1/8 of a mile later, take the MIDDLE fork of 3 dirt roads. (It may be hard to tell that there is a 3 way fork here. If you see a road that goes downhill, that is the right fork, which you DON'T want to take. A little tiny bit further the left fork goes up a hill, which you also DON'T want to take.)- go for half a mile, ignore two new shale driveways that go to the left (new building sites)- Take the left fork when the road forks into two. It should say 123 on a tree on the left. (You'll see a sign saying "unauthorized vehicles keep out" as you go down a curving bumpy big hill (not always passable in the winter! If it's winter confirm that you can get back out if you go down!) Follow this road to the house. Vehicles you might see: black pickup, gray pickup, red VW Karmann Ghia, red Honda wagon. [If you don't see this fork, and you get to a house without going down a hill, this isn't the right house. Turn around, drive 1/8 of a mile, and take a right to go down the hill.] 123 Burr's Crossing, Rosendale, NY

Take a LEFT immediately after the bridge onto Route 213, also known as Main St. There is a Stewarts gas station directly after you take this left. (If you pass two gas stations, one on your right and one on your left, you've gone about 100 yards too far on Route 32.) At this point you should pick up the above directions from Main Street Rosendale to complete your trip to Camp Warui.
