Travelogue Location - it's NOT at the Eastman Employee Center!

Please pass the word that the Travelogues that are scheduled for the four Thursdays in February are in the Eastman Lodge at Bays Mountain, not the Eastman Employee Center.  

Some people may assume we are in the same location as we have been for the last several years.  We are trying something new this year.  The room we were using at the Employee Center was not good for a large crowd that wants to be able to see the screen.

The lodge is located at the Eastman Recreation Area.  If you know where Kingsport Bays Mountain Park is, you go right just before the entrance to the Bays Mountain Park.  The lodge is the first building on the left with the parking lot next to it.

The address is

406 Bays Mountain Park Rd
Kingsport, Tennessee 37660

Here are some directions that might help:

• Get off I-26 at the John B. Dennis / Wilcox Drive Exit (Exit No. 51). 
• Turn left at the red light at the end of the exit ramp, and go back under I-26. Go 0.3 miles to a red light (you should be able to follow the brown Bays Mountain Park signs from here). 
• Turn right at the red light, go 0.1 miles, and turn left onto Princeton Road. 
• Go 0.2 miles and turn right onto Diana Avenue. 
• Go 0.6 miles to a stop sign at Reservoir Road. 
• Turn left and go 1.5 miles on Reservoir Road. 
• Turn right on Bays Mountain Road and go 0.6 miles to the Eastman Lodge (there's a fork in the road before you get to the Eastman Recreation Area; take the right fork. The left fork goes up the mountain to Bays Mountain Park. Immediately after you take the right fork, you will pass through a gate. Go about 0.2 miles and the Eastman Lodge will be on your left.
