From I-64:
Take the WV-12 exit- EXIT 161- toward ALTA turning left if coming from I-64W or right if coming from I-64E onto WV-12 S.
After about 12 miles on WV-12, you will enter the town of Alderson. Pass the BP station, Subway and Thrift store. You will go around a bend and see the river on your left. The bridge will be a couple more blocks further and on the left. *

Park on Monroe Street and make your way to the bridge. Walk across the bridge and enjoy the view of the river. On the other side of the bridge is a park. Start at the first flag pole you come to (usually flying Alderson’s town flag). Turn around and face the bridge again. Walk 15 paces towards and around a short metal railing. Watch your footing as it can be steep here and look for the letterbox!

*Alternate clues (less walking but less scenic):
Keep driving on Rt. 12 and take a left onto Rt. 3. This will take you across the Greenbrier River on the new bridge. Take a left at the end of the bridge to continue on Rt. 3 back into Alderson. At the first stop sign take a left and park in the parking lot next to the train tracks. Walk across the tracks and into the park. Start at the flag pole closest to the river and take 15 paces towards and around a short metal railing. Watch your footing as it can be steep here and look for the letterbox!
