     SESSION NOTES  DIRECTIONS: The Argos facility is located at 8039 Hwy 25 about 3 miles west of I-65. Turn north/west into the plant. Go straight ahead, park in the main parking area after the second RR tracks and come into the main entrance/reception area for the lecture. The field runs meet at the old truck parking area, about 300 yards west of where you would turn to go into the plant....If you see Lhoist on the left, you have gone too far.
