There is a jug handle to make the left turn from US1 South onto Wildflower Rd. The jug handle comes immediately after an exit lane for the Kettle Pond Visitor Center, which you will be tempted to shift into. If you make that mistake, recovery is easy by turning around on Bend Road.
Circle Monahan's counter-clockwise to look for parking. If the paved lot is full, start a second circuit and turn right after the big tree to access additional parking on grass.
Order your own lunch at the window. Wait for your food at the corner of the building; it may come out of the pick-up window or the side door to the kitchen. Drinks may come first. They'll call your name. We'll sit under the big white tent.

We'll park at the trailhead at the north end of Ryan Park. If the lot is full, cross Lafayette Rd and head to the Feurer Park baseball field; the access road appears as a railroad track on Google Maps. Iver is about 0.25 miles from the trailhead.
