Turn into our driveway where you see signs for Blake Ranch and Nursery on your right (coming from Big Timber).

Take this driveway east, across a cattle guard and follow it down and around until you come to a T with a red barn with corrals. Turn left here (NOT right, or you will end up at the nursery), pass a house on your left, then pass two ponds, and keep coming straight until you see some canvas tents, a hay shed, corrals and our house.
