There are TWO maps enclosed at the bottom of this page.
The 1st attached map shows the location of John Horn's house in Muncy Valley (mailing address).
It's actual location is a couple of miles East and slightly North of Sonestown.
Driving Time: From Montoursville Walmart to John's house, allow ?? 50 minutes. ((From Montoursville Walmart to Sonestown is 27 miles, 37 minutes per Google maps. Allow another 15 minutes to go from Sonestown out to John's location (Google maps cannot find Brown Rd addresses at all, although you can see them on the map if you zoom in.))
John Horn's Comments:A. Watch your speed once you enter Sullivan County; radar traps are EVERYWHERE.
B. John says your GPS will try to have you turn off Rt 220 BEFORE you get to Sonestown, and take you onto Champion Road, which will take you on some DIRT roads. He says to IGNORE your GPS and continue on into Sonestown, as the map shows.
C. John plans to put red BALLOONS at the 3 turns you need to make:
- #1) off Rt 220 to go into Sonestown,
- #2) the right turn at Nordmont Road,
- #3) the right turn onto Brown Hill Road.
John's house is #617 Brown Hill, and it has a 1957 Chevy on the mailbox.
E. If you MISS John's house, then about 150 feet PAST his house, you will come to the stop sign where Brown Hill Rd intersects Whiskey Run Rd.
((Note that Whiskey Run Rd actually makes a loop south of John's house. It'll be the 1st right turn off Nordmont (keep straight), and if you drove past John's house to the stop sign, you'd be "meeting" it again.))
F. John says that the road that shows on the maps as "Mountain Road" and "North Mountain Road" has been renamed to "Whiskey Run Road". He says there was a second "Mountain Road on the other side of Rt 42, so they renamed the one near him.
All the above comments are included on the attached Map #1, just a little less verbose.
G. Note that none of the online maps seem to show John's location accurately.
I think this drawing is pretty close to correct, as I talked with John over the phone about it.
Map #2 - Area Map
The 2nd attached map shows you the overall area.
Note if you're travelling north on Rt. 220 from Hughesville, and you find yourself arriving in LaPorte . . then you somehow missed the turn to Sonestown, as Laporte is the next town north of Sonestown.
