Short form:
(From hwy 17 Southbound)
Right on Mt. Hermon
Right on Graham Hill
Right on Hwy 9, go about 1 mile>
On Hwy 9 between El Solyo Hts Road and the "Twin Bridges".
On the logical East (downhill) side of the road, just south of
the
"Narrow Bridge" sign at the 7.69 mileage marker.
If I'm expecting company I usually turn on the white
"rope" lights
in the front yard to make the house easier to see.
Note: my flamingo was stolen. I have replacment flamingos, but
may not have them mounted in time for the party.

>From Santa Cruz:

Turn right on Hwy 9.
About 2/3 of mile north of town you will pass the highschool on
your left.
Time to start waking up.
About a 1/4 mile further on, there will be a
commercial building on the
right,
a bus stop and a church on your left,
and El Solyo Hts road,
Really Wake up.
About a hundred yards past the commercial building,
the road will turn to the left
and there will be a large
pullout on the right.
The pullout looks like:

If you are coming for a party, park here.
Do not block the neighbors cars.
If you are going to park in the pullout, it is helpfull to bring a
flashlight, the walk on hwy 9 between my house and the pullout can be rather dark
at night.
Walk north past the turn, there will be a driveway on the right, followed by a shed with a telephone pole, mail boxes and there was a pink flamingo but the flamingo rustlers stole it, in front of it, followed by my driveway. Followed by a narrow bridge sign.
There are new flamingos.
If you are driving, slow WAY down after the pullout.
The front yard looks like:

If you get to two bridges in rapid succession, you've gone too far.
By Bus:
Take the 35. Get off at El Solyo. Walk north.
