> enough people, then I'll refund at the ride. We have a Plan B with a
> discounted prime rib dinner at the Buckhorn if we don't get enough people.
> Contact SpringRndup@a... for address information.
-Directions: To get to Songdog Ranch from the South: take Hwy 33 north
towards route 166. When you pass the only gas station on Hwy 33 in the Cuyama
Valley, count 2.8 miles from that point and look for a small "Songdog Ranch"
sign on the right (east) side. Turn right on the paved road, after about a
half mile you will see the Songdog Ranch on your left side, don't stop,
continue until you see the dirt road on your right that leads up the bluff.
>Coming from the North: Heading South on Hwy 33, approx. 3-5mi. from the
intersection of 166 and 33, there is a small sign on the left side of the
road near the ground that says Songdog. Go left, for about a mile, you'll see
a ranchouse on the left. On the right, across the street, through a telephone
poled gated entrance, there is a dirt road, turn right, onto it and this will
hook around back to your right, and this will take you up to the
mesa(camground), bunkhouse(hall), and the camping area.
>Note: If you’re planning to RV Camp in Ballinger, simply continue all the
way up Ballinger Cyn Rd. to the OHV area entrance, and to the staging area.
>If you were to have gone straight on Hwy33 at the 'Songdog' sign, and
remained heading South, you would, within 3 minutes, have seen both The
Pistachio Ranch and The Place.
