See It On The Map

Take the perimeter to the southwest corner. Get on I-85 south towards Montgomery. At the third exit (#61), get off and turn left at the top of the ramp. Head towards Tyrone/Peachtree City. Go a little over four miles to the 5th traffic light Publix will be on the right. Go through the light and exit the four-lane. At the bottom of the ramp, turn right. Go through downtown Tyrone until you see the cemetery on the left and the elementary school on the right. Turn right on Castlewood Road and go about 1.8 miles. At the bottom of the hill turn left into Lake Windsong subdivision. If you cross the creek, turnaround, you have gone too far. My house is on the right just past the pond. It is the gray stucco with the big three story wall.
