GPS Coordinates

This field is closer than the BallBuster field, which is also on Magnolia Rd. It is also smaller but certainly large enough to play with pleanty of people. The whole field is somewhat on an incline going down from where we park. If you find a clearing through the pines you can see Boulder and the reservoir out in the plains. There seems to be a good amount of foliage, hills, and rocks to hide behind. Light green areas on the downloadable topo maps are public National Forest land. National Forest rules apply in those areas. Dark green areas are private land so stay off.

General directions to get to Aqueduct

1. From Boulder take Canyon Blvd west into the Rockies.
2. Turn into Magnolia (left turn which is south). You'll be going up hill here. NOTE: Aqueduct is exactly 4.3 miles from this turn (you can also find the nearest mile marker, i.e. 4, to navigate in case you get lost and you didn't take note of your odometer). GPS Coordinates 40N 00.331' | 105W 20.964'
3. 0.2 miles before the Magnolia asphalt road turns to dirt road, there's a curve to the left in which the field entrance is on the right. There are no driveway markings and the driveway is somewhat narrow...but certainly large enough to drive through.
4. Tips to locate Aqueduct: If you were to stop the car at the entrance coming from Boulder, you'd see a road sign 200 feet in front of you that looks like a colorado license plate (the sign has green mountains with a white sky like some car plates). It is a wide sign and I think it says something about forest fires. Also, if you were to miss the entrance on the way up and you hit the dirt road, turn around and go 0.2 miles and look on the left for a small entrance (the entrance would be on a curve to the right going in reverse). Furthermore, if there's cars already in the field's parking area, you may see them from the main road as the parking area is only 100 feet away.
