New York State Thruway (87 North) to exit 17 at Newburgh. Follow signs to Interstate 84 East over the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. Take the first exit immediately after the toll booths. At the top of the ramp turn left onto Route 9-D North for about 6 miles where it runs into and becomes Main Street, Wappingers Falls. Follow Main Street through the village of Wappingers Falls. (Main Street is a winding road that makes a sharp right at the bottom of the hill and then goes uphill again.) At the traffic light immediately after the Sunoco gas station, turn left onto Delavergne Ave. which winds uphill past the Franciscan Monastery and ends at the stop sign at Sheafe Road. Directly across the street is our driveway, marked by a sign that reads: 245 Kagyu Thubten Chöling.
