Directions & Maps
Driving directions to meet your tour guide:
From Thomasville, at the intersection of US Hwy 19 and GA Hwy 122 (Gateway Shopping Center/ CVS/ Office Depot and Hampton Inn), travel northeast on GA Hwy 122 (Pavo Rd) for about 5 miles, passing Country Oaks Golf Course on your left. As you pass the golf course entrance you will be on a straight-away. Slow down as you approach the right-hand curve at the end of this straight-away. As you approach the curve, you will see a sign for a road to your left - the first left-turn opportunity past the golf course. Turn left there onto Airport Road. There is a fairly visible airport sign at this turn.
Proceed on Airport Road, which very soon drops gently downhill. Park on the left side of the road, about halfway down the slope. There will be a temporary sign placed at the parking location alongside the road. This is where you will rendezvous with your tour guide.
