Trying to find a club event? Just look below for maps to the club meetings, observing site, and other places the OAC frequents.
Club Meetings are held on the second Sunday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the Rochester Environmental Education Center, which is located at 1115 W Avon Road in Rochester Hills. It's a small ranch-style house near the southwest corner of the intersection of Avon and Livernois. If you need more detailed directions, here's the Yahoo map to the EEC.
The OAC Observing Site is at Addison Oaks County Park which is located off of W. Romeo Road (about 5 miles north of Rochester, MI). If you need detailed directions to Addison Oaks, here's the Yahoo map to the park. Once you get to the park, Yahoo isn't helpful anymore. The observing site is tucked away in a corner of a large field, accessable only by utility roads and trails. Tell the guard at the contact station that you're going back to the OAC observing site, you won't have to pay for park entry. Here's a map of the trail back to the site - just follow the dots!
