Map not to any scale. Roads may not be as straight as shown on map.

From Phoenix or Tucson. Take I-10 to I-19. I-19 only goes one direction, so can't take it the wrong way. You won't have get off I-10, I-19 branches off I-10.

Before you get to Nogales you go through Green Valley. There are 3 exits to Green Valley. There is gas & food if you need it. Also the same in Nogales. When you get to Nogales take business route 19. This will put you on Grand. A few miles in, you will come to state road 82 intersection, turn right. This is an easy intersection to miss, but there are signs. They will say to Patagonia. In a about 5 1/2 miles you will come to the Santa Cruz River. Go across the river. In a few hundred feet you go over another bridge. Just as you get past it or just before there will be a sign saying North River Road. There also is a sign at the road, you will be turning left. Remember it is the North River Road you want, NOT the South River Road. ( * ) Once you have turned onto the North River Road check your odometer reading, you will go exactly 7/10ths. of a mile. ( a tip) As soon as you go through that dip in the road you will want to slow down because in just a few yards Comoro Canyon Lane will be on your right. The sign will say Comoro Canyon Lane, turn right. ( I don't care if the maps don't have the spelling right, this is what the sign says ). There's a very rough cattle guard just after you turn right, go slowly, in fact go slowly all while on the Lane. Just before you get to the Ranch there will be a ( Y ) to the right is up a steep hill, your will keep to your LEFT going down a small hill. You will not be able to see the house until you get directly in front of it because of all of the trees. Park up against the stone parking area, don't drive on into the yard or on up to the house. You will be blocking his exit.

**************************

If you are coming from the east do not cross the Santa Cruz River, the North River Road is east of the river and just before you come to the Santa Cruz River bridge. There will be a sign a long the highway saying North River Road just a few yards before you get to it. Turn right. Follow the instructions above, start from where the ( * ) is.

The North River Road is a hard surface road. The Comoro Lane is gravel and a bit wash-boardy.

Remember always phone a head and see if it is OK for you to visit the Ranch.
