Short-Cut used by Many Frequent Attenders:
Follow the directions given above, except continue on Oberlin RD to 625 Oberlin RD. Look for a sign that says "Bernie Batchelor, Photographer." Take either of the two driveways up the hill into a large paved parking area. Park on the opposite side from where you entered. Raleigh Friends Meeting is across Tower ST from the Parking Lot. By coincidence it happens to have the same address number (625 Tower ST) as the Oberlin ST address where you entered the parking lot from Oberlin RD. Link to Maps;  Link to Parking
