Visitor & Driver Tips
We recommend using GPS coordinates (40.113679, -88.047336) for the most accurate navigation, as rural addresses can sometimes be tricky to pinpoint. Since this is an open-field environment, always be mindful of weather conditions during the winter months, as snow or mud may affect ground conditions. It is advisable to clear your vehicle of valuables, as is standard practice for any outdoor parking facility.
