Here's a satellite map of the area

What you're looking for is FM 1102 and Hoffman Lane in New Braunfels, Texas. Enter that into your favorite Internet map service and it'll give you exact driving instructions. This one is from Google and it's cool because you can scroll around on it live inside this post. You have to zoom in to see street names and then drag your mouse around to find the intersection. On this map the Conrad and Conrada cemeteries are marked (although they have maybe one grave in each)and the 30 acres is that wooded rectangle to the Southwest of where Hoffman and 1102 meet. You'll see the small oval pill shaped pond at the lower front side, the cleared area above that is the ridge we all walk out to for the sunset. Right in about the middle of the property, about half way back along that cleared ridge, look in the center of the trees and you'll see a long narrow clearing. You can even see the trail that leads to the ridge. Anyway, that's where the main stage is. There are acres of incredible camping sites under huge oaks and elms all through the property. A road from 1102 leads right to the heart of everything. When the day comes and you're driving up, they'll be a sign showing the entrance right there on FM 1102 just south of Hoffman Lane. It's very easy to get to - just right outside New Braunfels and only a couple of turns off IH-35 - but when you get here you'll see how it feels like being way out in the country.
