The barn is labeled N.E.O.C.S. Barn on this map. Enter from S. Cherokee Street onto 5th Street. Follow 5th street around to the front (north side) of the barn. Go to the END of the barn, the east end, and drop off your cages. If you unload your cages at the west end of the barn, you'll have a long way to walk with them later. Park your vehicle after you move your cages into the dirt floor area of the barn. Still can't tell where the east end of the barn is? Look for the round administration building. Imagine the middle of this round building. That middle point is approximately at the end (the east end) of the barn. Aaaahhhh Haaaa! Yes! That's where the fancy sign will be directing you to Please Unload Your Cages Here : )
