From Robin Leong:
Once again the address is 3649 Ryer Road East, Walnut Grove CA
95690. I recommend that you use Mapquest...at www.mapquest.com and put
your address and the above address. You also can use Yahoo or Google
Maps, whatever. The key to getting there is to take the ferry, then
look for the dark green (redwood trees) windbreak. This means you are
getting close. Look for the White and blue For Sale sign on the east
side (waterside) turn left or right depending on which ferry you took.
The address is on the mail box hidden from the road. Drive in, if it
is a week day ask Raye Hanson or Carlo Guidi permission in the office
on the left. Park the car on the left side by the storage warehouse,
NOT on the right where the dog bites.
The James Stewart Ranch (916) 775-1646 has been very gracious with
their permission to visit the ranch and see "their" birds. You have
been on great behavior. Thanks and keep it up. Hopefully if we are all
on good behavior so we can visit when the long-eared owls are there.
