The street address is:

1560 N Minnewawa Ave
Clovis, CA 93619-7600

So type that into yahoo! Maps driving directions as the destination, your house as the starting point, and it will say.

I tried it from Santa Clarita, and got
Distance: 198.4 miles
Approximate Travel Time: 4 hours 7 mins

Take I-5 NORTH - go 52.3 mi
I-5 NORTH becomes CA-99 NORTH - go 131.6 mi
Take ramp onto CA-41 NORTH - go 2.6 mi
Take ramp onto CA-180 EAST - go 1.3 mi
Take ramp onto CA-168 EAST - go 5.5 mi
Take ramp - go 0.4 mi
Turn Right on W BULLARD AVE - go 0.1 mi
Turn Left on VILLA AVE - go 1.3 mi
Continue on N MINNEWAWA AVE - go 1.1 mi
Arrive at 1560 N MINNEWAWA AVE, CLOVIS, on the Right

Although I would be sorely tempted to turn off of 41 along the main drag and drive over regular surface streets to get there.

Of course, how long it might take you to get from your house to Santa Clarita along I-5 on a Saturday morning is probably best estimated by a resident such as yourself!

Hi David,
I'll do my best. The contest is at Buchanan Educational Center (High School)and it located in Clovis just north of Fresno by about a rocks throw. When you get close if you have to ask directions most everyone in the area knows where it is. Yeah, I know real men don't ask directions.
As you are going north on Hwy 99, get off on Clovis Ave (to the right). Continue on Clovis Ave(big wide street)for about 13 miles until you come to Herndon Ave and turn left. You only go about a half mile or less and then you turn right on Minnewawa Ave. The site is about 3/4 of a mile on the left side of the street. You can see it from the street with no problem. Big grass fields, you will see the lights for the football field and the baseball fields etc. above the horizon and all the cars parked along the street. And good luck with your OVERHEADS.
