Its hard for me to imagine Amsterdam as a town. I never really thought about it until I saw this tablet today. Heck I never would have bothered to read it at all if it wasn't for waymarking. To get this this one you head north on rt.30 through the city of Amsterdam go towards Perth. You'll pass by Walmarts and Hannafords and several other big name stores. Once you see the "Polar Plaza" then slow down. You're looking for Wallin's Corners Rd. You'll know it when your there. The turn is at a red light. You'll see a mobile gas station and a subway sharing the same parking lot, on the right hand side just past the light. You'll be using their parking lot to log this one. The tablet is across the road from subway on the other side of Wallin's Corners Rd. Take your pics from this parking lot. Crossing the road here is to dangerous and there's not enough room between the road and the tablet to get a good shot. Happy WMing, Swizzle & Family
