Attending a Monocacy Creek House Concert

Parking should not be a problem. Hover over the pictures for captions.
First things first
The Guys: There is a flock (well, a bunch) of ducks that live around the corner from us. Their claim to their territory goes back generations. If you were to run one over, our neighbors might burn our house down. Go slow on Penn Dixie and Fox roads. Watch out and make way for ducklings. UPDATE: There are now 6 hens that live there too. They cross the road A LOT. They have not told us why.
Those Deer: Our small farm straddles a venison super-highway. Deer run through thunderously, seeming to come out of nowhere. Watch out for the deer.
Now to parking:
Our driveway is about 1,800 feet long. It is mostly one lane with some strategic cutouts, open spaces and turnarounds. It goes between our meadows, over the river (well, creek) and through our woods. Our house is located in the third (top) meadow and has a lawn.
Do not block the driveway. Please pull straight in (i.e., perpendicularly) off the driveway when parking. Go onto the grass but not too far. This is 1) the easiest way to park 2) allows for more cars 3) makes it easy for others to get out before you. 4) and, most importantly, allows emergency vehicles to come up to our home.
Our front entry is on the up side of the house. That's where you should come in.
If you have issues walking up the last hill, drive up to the front door, turn around and park there. Caution: Our well heads are up at the top beyond the paved area. No unexpected water works, please.
Here's something really important:
If you or your companion(s) have mobility issues, we should be able to help. Let us know well in advance so we can set up the ramps we have. You can drive all the way up to the front door (using the left fork of the driveway up by the garage doors). Once in the house we have wide doors and no steps. Wheel chairs should work. (Martha tested this access when she broke her ankle. It was only then that we missed a Space Mountain Concert.)
There will be plenty of room for concert attendees and performers.
Want to help? We will need it. At this point we don't even know what help we might need. Please volunteer, if you can.
