DIRECTIONS GPS to Parking lot (load to your phone for Google Maps) we meet here for most lessons:  This is the easiest way if you have a GPS phone.   You can also GPS to “Sandy Wool Lake” in Milpitas, but avoid GPS to Ed Levin Park, some apps will take you to the office outside of the park we fly in.  There is a parking / day use fee $6 and sometimes they only take cash, so be prepared for this.
