To get to the Boulware Springs dirt lot:
From the intersection of Waldo Road (24/331) and University Ave (26),
proceed East on University for about a quarter mile, the road forks, take
the
right fork, which is Hawthorne Rd. (20), in about another block take a
right
(going south) on SE 15th st., continue south for about 2.25 miles until you
see
the brown Gainesville Hawthorne Trail sign on your right. Pass the first
entrance to the park, but enter the second entrance a few hundred feet
further
south. Park either in the dirt lot or the paved lot down near the spring
house.
We gather for the ride at the picnic tables next to the dirt lot. If
you
need a rest room and the Boulware Springs facility is locked, there will be
a
rest room at about the one mile point on the ride
