DIRECTIONS TO THE RANCH
After entering Salome from either direction on HWY 60, you will come to the intersection with Salome Road marked by signs for I-10, the post office on the south side and by a large billboard for Desert Palms Golf & RV Resort on the north side. It is a T intersection so you can only turn south on Salome Road. Go 0.3 miles, passing Avenue B, Avenue C and the Sheriffs Department on the right, to Harquahala Road. This is a *fork where Salome Road bears left and Harquahala Road bears right.
The street sign is missing so look for signs for the library and Salome Self-Storage . After traveling 2.3 miles on Harquahala, the pavement ends. Go 0.3 miles more to 40901, the second driveway on the left. You will see a wood post with an American flag and shiny vertical numerals 40901.
*At night, the fork can be very hard to see, so go very slowly when you get to the Sheriffs department on the right.
