Double
Dog Ranch is located in the San Barnardino Mountains. This means windy
roads and spotty cell phone reception. Cell phone users
can call
us at 909-338-8383. If you are in a dead zone, drive
a short distance and redial. When you make contact... stop driving
and talk!. If you try to talk and drive, another dead zone will come
up and zap the connection.
Directions
for Technology-Oriented Individuals
- Put
"575 N. Dart Canyon Rd, Crestline, CA" (zip is 92325) into
your GPS, and note that if your GPS is like our GPS, it will say you
have arrived at our Ranch about 1/2 mile before you actually get there.
If so, keep going on Dart Canyon Road to the end of the pavement,
continue on the gravel road about 150 yds, and then enter the driveway
on the right.
- Or
if you really want to get your techno-geek on, use -117.268 and 34.259
as lat/lon coordinates for our Ranch.
Directions
for Left-Brained Individuals
- From
points west of beach cities and LA: Take
91 or 60 or 10 east to 215 north (91 will turn into the 215 near San
Bernardino).
- From
215 north, take 210 / 30 east (mountain resorts exit). This will merge
you onto the 210 east.
- Take
the Waterman/Hwy 18 exit and turn left.
- Take
Waterman/Hwy 18 north up the mountain to Crestline/Hwy 138 exit. See
accompanying map.
- Follow
signs to Lake Gregory/Lake Drive.
- Continue
on Lake Drive around the lake to the 5-way stop.
- Turn
left onto Dart Canyon Rd. (you will pass just to the left of a Self-Storage
facility).
- Drive
5-7 minutes on Dart Canyon to end of pavement.
- Continue
on gravel road about 150 yds and enter driveway on right (575 N. Dart
Canyon Rd.) Dogs will alert us that you're here!.
Directions for Right-Brained Individuals
- Drive
East on your choice of Freeway. The 10 works fine as does the 60.
We have been favoring the 91 lately because it miraculously transforms
itself into the 215 which is an intermediate destination.
- Get
onto the 215 and head north. If you came in on the 91 it will become
the 215 and signs will change to reflect the name change.. You will
pass through the center of San Bernardino, whoopee.
- As
you begin to approach the mountains look for the sign that says Mountain
Resorts Highway 210 / 30. Take the Hwy 210 / 30 exit.
- You
will only be on the 210 / 30 for about one mile. Look for the Lake
Arrowhead Waterman Ave. exit. Get off and turn left on Waterman,
going north. Youre really on your way now.
- Waterman
is also Hwy 18. Drive up the hill on 18 until you see the Crestline
Cutoff (Hwy 138). Take it. See accompanying
map.
- At
the very top of the hill there will be a stop sign. Straight across
the intersection will be Lake Drive. Staying on Lake Drive you will
come to Lake Gregory.
-
Admire the water, then continue on Lake Drive and drive around the
north side of the lake until you come to our famous little 5-way stop
at the east end of the lake.
- You
will see a Self-Storage business straight ahead. Just to the left
of it will be Dart Canyon Road. Follow Dart Canyon Road (first you
go down for a ways, then you climb up) until you see a sign in about
5 minutes or so that reads pavement ends. Our land starts
right at the end of the pavement.
Drive up the expertly maintained gravel road for about 150
yards. Look right and you will see an opening to our driveway. There
are four, count 'em, 4 signs that say
575 on them. One is even lit. Congratulations! You can now do something
that UPS will apparently never catch onto!
