Picture pointing North as if you are coming from Highway 26.
In this picture you would have passed the junk yard and, in the distance, you see the curve.

This picture is straight in at our place - if you are coming from the North you are almost to our drive, if you are coming from the
South (Hwy 26) you have just passed our drive.  Turn between the pillar cones.
We now have chain link fencing rather than the falling down split rail...

Directions for coming to us from the North
We are located just South of Vernonia. 

You will be coming South on I5 – take exit #36 at Longview.  This will take you into industrial Longview.  You will come to Oregon Way and take a left.  This goes right across the Lewis and Clark Bridge to Hwy 30

 Cross the Longview bridge and take a right on Hwy 30.  You will go up the hill.


At the very top of the hill, just past the center divider, there is a left to Vernonia on Larsen Road.

That will take you past the Cemetery.  At the 4-way stop turn right onto Old Rainier Road.

A couple of miles and there is a Y in the road.  You will take the left up the hill.
This is Apiary Road  From there you will stay on that road for until you get to Highway 47

At Hwy 47 you will go left to Vernonia. 

Stay on Hwy 47 through town. 
Before the main bridge you will bear right.

Cross the main bridge.  At the top of the hill you will pass the fire department and the museum.  At the bottom of the hill you will see the school, then a smaller bridge at Rock Creek and the main part of town.  Once you get through town there will be a flashing light, turn left there.  This is still Hwy 47. 


We are about 6 miles from that point on the left hand side. 
You will pass Lee's U Catch fishing ponds just before you get to our place.  They are also on the left hand side.  On our driveway there are two orange pillar cones.  After us is the Junk yard, so if you get to them, you just missed us.  All three; Lee's, the Junkyard and Us are on one of the only straight stretches in the highway.  All on the left side of the road near mile marker #69.

Picture pointing South as if you are coming from Vernonia.
From here you would have passed the curve and the junk yard is ahead.
Our drive is between the cones.
