> 
> From the west, via I-8 east -- Pass El Cajon, Main Street and Johnson Ave. 
Take Highway 67 north (Lakeside/Ramona exit). Stay to the left to AVOID the 
mandatory off-ramp to Prospect. Keep going a couple more miles and exit at 
Riverford Rd. Get in far left lane. Turn left onto Woodside and make an 
immediate left again at Riverford Rd. Turn right at the first "7-11" onto 
Riverside Dr.  Turn left at the second "7-11" onto Palm Row. Follow Palm Row and 
it veers to the left and becomes Oak Creek Drive. Take Oak Creek Drive uphill 
for about a mile. Turn right at Eucalyptus Hills Drive. Go about 1/2 mile and 
pass Broken Wheel Rd. (watch for the real broken wheel on display). You may turn 
right immediately after Broken Wheel into the driveway of 11433 Eucalyptus Hills 
Drive. Park in the driveway and walk to the top of the hill to the little dark 
brown cottage, or you may continue up to the first dirt driveway on your right 
and drive to the top of the hill and park there. 
> 
> From the east, via I-8 west-- Pass Alpine. Keep going to Lakeside. Get off at 
Lake Jennings Road exit. Turn Right. Go up and over Lake Jennings Park Road by 
the dam. At the bottom of the hill, go straight through the stop sign; the road 
will become Mapleview. Follow Mapleview St. until you reach the big intersection 
and multiple stop lights at Highway 67. Go straight through that intersection -- 
do NOT get on Hwy. 67. Go a country block to Channel Road and turn right. At the 
next light, veer left and the road becomes Riverside Dr. Pass the fire station 
and make the first right at Valle Vista Rd. Follow that uphill for about two 
miles and veer left onto Eucalyptus Hills Drive. Stay on Euc. Hills Dr., pass 
Pinehurst and Rocoso Rd., and wind up the hill (go slow --be CAREFUL for the 
hairpin blind curve at the top). As you begin to go down the hill, you will see 
11433 Euc. Hills Dr. on the left. You may park in the driveway, or use it to 
turn around and go back up the hill to the first dirt driveway on your right 
(where the hairpin curve is).
