Directions: Take Julian Hwy (Hwy 79) to Ritchie Rd and go west. After a few hundred yards, Ritchie Rd turns to a well-maintained dirt road. This property is near the end of the dirt road which is about 3/4 of a mile from where it starts as dirt. Google maps gets you close but you need to go further than it says. Call LA with questions.
