Please DO NOT
use the directions on MapQuest or your GPS system.
After turning
North on Hwy 47 it generally tries to make another turn, putting you in the wrong location.
Our House is on Hwy 47 North
(also called Nehalem Hwy S)
8 miles North of Hwy 26 and 6 miles South of Vernonia.
If you are coming through
Portland follow the signs to Ocean Beaches.
Here are more detailed directions for getting from the East side by
Troutdale through Portland.
If you are coming from the
Seattle area there is a shortcut across the mountain at Longview.

The address :
54582 Nehalem Hwy S
Vernonia, OR97064
Just after you enter Columbia County, and North of “Mile Marker 69”
(5 driveways between the marker and our drive).
On a Straight Stretch
beginning at Mile Post 69, we are between Gasoline
Ally wrecking yard, and Lee's U-Catch Trout fishing ponds. If you get to
Lee's you have just passed our house.
Double Wide Trailer on the east (right if you are headed North) side of the road, with
a
LARGE shop and TALL Ham Radio antenna on top.
BEFORE you get to the CURVE sign, you will see two orange
pillar cones on the right, marking our driveway. There are
other drives that have cones, but none with two of the pillar type.

Picture pointing North as if you are coming from
Highway 26.
In this picture you would have passed the junk yard and Lee's-U-Catch in the
distance at the curve.
This picture is straight in at the place - if you are coming
from the North (Vernonia) you are almost to our drive,
if you are coming from the South (Hwy 26) you have just passed our drive.
Directions for coming to us from the North
We are located
just South of Vernonia.
From I5 North of Vancouver head to Longview and – take exit #36. This will
take you into industrial Longview. You will come to Oregon Way and take
a left. This goes right across the Lewis and Clark Bridge to Hwy 30
Cross the Longview bridge and take a right on Hwy 30. You
will go up the hill.
At the very top of the hill, just past the center divider, there is a
left to Vernonia on Larsen Road.
That will take you past the Cemetery. At the 4-way stop turn right
onto Old Rainier Road.
A couple of miles and there is a Y in the road. You will take the
left up the hill.
This is Apiary Road From there you will stay on that road for until you
get to Highway 47
At Hwy 47 you will go left to Vernonia. Stay on Hwy 47 through
town.
Before the
main bridge you will bear right.
Cross the main bridge. At the top of the hill you will pass
the fire department and the museum. At the bottom of the hill you
will see the school, then a smaller bridge at Rock Creek and the main
part of town. Once you get through town there will be a flashing light,
turn left there. This is still Hwy 47.
We are about 6 miles from that point on the left hand side.
You will pass Lee's U Catch fishing ponds just before you get to our
place. They are also on the left hand side. On our driveway there are
two orange pillar cones. After us is the Junk yard, so if you get to
them, you just missed us. All three; Lee's, the Junkyard and Us are on
one of the only straight stretches in the highway. All on the left
side of the road near mile marker #69.
