Meadow Creek to McCreery

From I-64, take exit 138 and follow CR-7 to Meadow Creek.
To get to McCreery from there, you can go back to I-64, take it to exit 124 (East Beckley).
Then go right and the road you are on will join with Business Route 19 (Eisenhower Drive).
Take that road to US 41 and turn right on US 41 to go down to McCreery.

Another way to get to McCreery from Meadow Creek is to stay on river right. Take CR7-1 from Meadow Creek through Claypool.
When you get to Rte 20, turn left and and go a short distance to CR-31.
Turn left onto CR-31 and take it to Route 41 (going through Danese on your way).
When you get to Route 41, turn left and drive down to the New.
Cross the New and you are at McCreery.
