If you are coming from the East traveling West on highway 50 On the West side of La Junta, CO You would make a left onto highway 10 Highway 10 goes towards Walsenburg, CO You will be traveling West by Southwest Until county road 11 You would make a left heading South on County road 11. The small sign will probably say CR11 But if you are coming from the West. When you come to the west end of the town of Manzanola, CO You will turn on to county road 11 When you come to a stop sign that will be Highway 10 You will cross highway 10 and continue down CR 11 After crossing three cattle guards As soon as you cross the third one There Is going to be a road to your right It may or may not have a sign But it will be county road T. You will travel down (West) that road And come to a gated fence It will State that it is a federal game reserve and no vehicles beyond this point We have permission To use the roadway You cannot camp in the reserve Or go off roading The road is a byway to our property. Remember To hook the bottom of the post first before hook in the top Of the gate It is easier that way Once you get to the watering trough You will be traveling Southwest on a pathway for vehicles You will come to a gateway Once you pass the gateway you will be back on private property From that gateway The prairie Oasis Is to your right The gateway is at the very most Southeast Corner of the property Everything South of that gateway Is someone else's private property. I hope you enjoy. Known wildlife in the area: Antelope, Coyotes, Jack rabbits, Tarantulas, Prairie dogs, Owls, Hawks, Prairie mice, Snakes, Including the prairie rattlesnake. But the chances of running into one of them would be rare. And because the rest of the property is unfenced There are occasionally cows roaming around freely. If you plan on building a fire You will have to bring your own wood. Be sure to put any fire out thoroughly. Have fun
Thanks again.
