Location

The easiest way to find us is from Highway #2. When travelling east or west turn North on to Highway #230 by the Lighthouse. Follow #230 to the crossroads and turn west (left, DO NOT GO ON THE DIRT ROAD). Come up the hill about a 1/2 kilometer and you will see the big barn on the right, which is the north side of the road.
