Drive to exit 193 on Interstate 65 and go south on US 231 for a little more than a mile to an intersection
with a dirt road going off to the left (700 S Road). Turn left (east) and go about 0.3 mile and park on the
side of the field. You can see a prominent rise in the field to your north which is clearly visible because of
the orange color of the soil. This is area 1. Walk carefully out into the field (don't step on the crops!) and
stand on the top (40.65245 deg N, 87.034616 deg W).
To visit area 2, return to exit 193 on Interstate 65. Immediately north of this interchange is an Amoco gas
station and an access road which goes off at an extreme angle to the southeast (600 S Road). Follow this
road for about 2 miles as it bends east until you encounter 700 E Road. Turn right (south) and go 1 mile to
700 S Road. Turn right again (west) and proceed about 0.5 mile, passing a farm on your left. When you are
about half way between the farm and another radio tower, stop along the road near a telephone pole on the north.
Step out into the cornfield about 150 feet and you are at area two (40.64943 deg N, 87.01360 deg W).
These two high spots illustrate quite a contrast, since the eastern one is very hard to detect, while the
western one is quite prominent.
