DIRECTIONS TO THE RANCH

After entering Salome from either direction on HWY 60, you will come to the intersection with Salome Road – marked by the post office on one side and by a large billboard for Desert Palms Golf & RV Resort on the other. It is a T intersection so you can only turn south on Salome Road.  You will then pass Avenue B, Avenue C  and the Sheriff’s Department before coming to 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 a mini-storage.  After traveling about 1&1/2 miles on Harquahala, the pavement ends, then Harry’s drive will be the second on the left. You will see a RR tie with an American flag and shiny numerals 40901.

*At night, the fork can be very hard to see, so go very slowly when you get to the Sheriff’s department.
