After passing the Bluebird, take the third left (Redding Rd and Norton Rd are 1st two) onto Freeborn Road (sign at the end of the road), a couple of miles from Bluebird. Go left onto Freeborn. There will be woods on the left and right. When the woods stop on the left (first house lot), look to the right for a dirt road through the woods. That is the access road to the Patch.
