2. Interstate 181 becomes US 23 once you cross into Virginia. Stay on US 23 through Virginia
   and into Kentucky (approx. 50 miles).
3. At the intersection with KY 119 near Jenkins, KY, take the “Whitesburg / Hazard” exit onto US 119, heading southwestward to Whitesburg (approx. 10 miles).
4. At Whitesburg, take KY 15 northward to Hazard (approx. 35 miles).
5. As you reach Hazard, take a left onto the KY 15 Bypass. (This intersection comes immediately after you pass under a pedestrian bridge.)
6. At the end of the KY 15 Bypass (the T intersection at the second traffic light), turn right. This puts you on KY 15 heading toward Hazard.
7. You will start down a hill immediately. Get into the left lane as soon as possible. The downhill stretch turns into a sharp "buttonhook" turn. Stay in the left lane. There is a traffic light at the T intersection at the bottom of the hill.

(The building is a four-story, red brick building with green awnings and shutters and some beige trim.)
