If you type High Rock, Smithsburg MD into google, you will get a choice of two places on a map. Pick the one shown on the right of the map and it will give you directions to launch.

How about that?

There is even a street view of the set up area and launch--

We need to get the google street view people to come back when there are gliders at launch.
