Coming in on Hwy 281, you turn left onto Hwy 290 heading west. You are looking for a dirt road driveway on your left, in about a half a mile. The exact address is 502 W. Main St (same as 290), between Ave. N and Ave. O. We will have balloons and a gentleman directing you to the right spot. The main thing is it is a dirt road on your left just past where the old log fence starts.
