Directions to the Riggert Field Launch Site:

 The field is located on the south side of Route 116 between Germantown Hills and Metamora.  If you are traveling east on Rt. 116 turn right onto Riggert Road (across from Riggert's Banquet Facility) which is a gravel township road.  You'll see the launch setup in the field and you can park on the road (just don't park immediately downwind of the pads).  If you are traveling west on Rt. 116 just make a left turn onto Riggert Road.
