                 1. From Gainesville, drive north on US 441 towards Alachua.
 

                 2. The turnoff for the DRU is County Road 237. This road is also marked by a sign that says

                Hague. It is approximately 6  miles from the Highway Patrol Station at the corner of US 441 and

                 SR121 (34th St.) to CR237. Make a right at CR237.

               3. After turning on CR237, you will immediately come to the town of Hague. Drive through

              Hague, cross the railroad tracks and go about 1/2 mile. The DRU will be on the right. There will be a UF sign identifying the

               DRU at the entrance. Turn  right.

              4. Proceed down the long drive to the main building which is at the end of the drive. At this point, the drive forms a circle in

               front of the main building and there is a sign with a painting of a Holstein in the center of the circle. You are there. Park

               your car in the parking lot on the left and wait for Dr. Hansen.

       Note there are some landmarks on US 441 to let you know you are on the right path. The first landmark is Deerhaven   

         power plant on the right. When you see the Fast-Track convenience store on the right, you are very close (<1 mile). This

         will be followed by Turkey Creek subdivision on the left and a trailer park on the right. CR237 is on the right opposite

         the Farm Credit Union Building on the left.
