From the base of the Nitro/St. Albans Bridge - Without Photos
#1.) From Route 60 East/West (MacCorkle Ave) turn onto 3rd Street between Taco Bell and Tim Horton’s. The intersection of 3rd Street is directly across from the foot of the Nitro/St. Albans bridge.
#2.) Once on 3rd Street, travel under a railroad over-pass and through 2 traffic lights. At the first Stop sign after the 2nd traffic light, turn left onto 9th Avenue.
#3.) As 9th Avenue climbs, bear to the right at the top of the first incline, where 9th Avenue becomes Highland Drive. Stay on Highland Drive as it continues to climb and passes through a residential section. After the straight section, you will pass a large water storage tank on your right as you enter an S-Type series of turns.
#4.) As you leave the residential area into a more rural setting, Highland Drive becomes Dry Ridge Road and narrows to normal WV rural route.
#5.) Follow Dry Ridge Road to the end, where it intersects with Lincoln Drive/Smith Creek Road, at the bottom of a very steep decline.
#6.)
At the intersection of Dry Ridge and Lincoln, you are approximately 100 feet
from the club entrance. Carefully turn right onto Lincoln Drive.
The FOPA #5 Range will be on the left, immediately after a short incline
on Lincoln Dr. Look for signs, on the left, marking the club entrance.
CAUTION: Watch for on-coming traffic before turning into the club entrance. Vehicles moving toward you will be coming from a semi-blind curve, and will likely be traveling at a higher than safe rate of speed.
#7.) If you accidentally pass the club entrance, there is a small gravel turn-around just beyond the entrance again on the left. Turn around here, carefully, and come back to the club entrance now on your right.
