 DIRECTIONS:
Maybe your GPS can find McCaig Farm, 10983 Cowpasture River Rd  S, Williamsville, Va.  24487.
Likely it can find Williamsville.

Anything longer than an F 150 pulling a 19 foot trailer is a BIG RIG

 From the north and east: 
In Staunton take US 250 West until you cross a wee mountain.
At the bottom entering Headwaters, turn left on 616 (The only road).
At the bridge T junction left on Cowpasture River Rd. We are 12.8 miles from 250 and
you'll cross the river two more times. At the second bridge you'll pass Berriedale Rd.
Continue 1/10th mile. On your right you'll see a sheepdog pointing leftward
and on your left the “Yucatec Farm” sign marks the lane.

 If BIG RIGS overshoot this lane, continue a mile or so to the Fire Department, Uturn,
return past the farm (DON'T ATTEMPT THE MAILBOX ROAD. The last B.R. who ignored this
warning cost him $1000 in damages and my unsympathetic guffaws), About a mile back the way
you came (past Berridale & Peaceful Valley rds) U turn at the road on your right.
Return and PAY ATTENTION this time.

 From the South and West:
In Millboro Springs turn left on Rte 39.
After one mile, right on 678.  1/2 hr to Williamsville ,
cross the bridge on Rte 614. 1.8 miles to a blue mailbox on your right. Descend.

South and West BIG RIGS:  As above but DON'T ATTEMPT THE MAILBOX ROAD
(See warning above)  Instead, drive past the farm another mile or so past
Berridale & Peaceful Valley rds at the road on the right.  U-turn Return, take the lane as above.

 Once you're on the farm, drive past the barn to the happy gathering in the bottom.
Don't wake the ladies in the cabin unless you want the worst setout of your life.

 If you decide to travel at night and get lost, pull off and park. 
Things will look so much better in the morning.
