: One of my gt books A GUIDE TO WESTERN
: GT'S reads "from Yuma, go west across the river on US80. At 9.1 miles is dirt road exiting north Take this 3.9 miles to Ogilby on railroad tracks. Cross these, take rough dirt road 6.6 miles to Tumco".
: In California from I-8, take CA 34 north to Ogilby
: then continue as shown above.
