Directions:
Heading north on I-25 from the south, take first exit into Douglas (pass Broken Wheel Truck stop on your right) and go straight on Richards St. about 2 miles to first stoplight.

This is La Bonte Rd and you stay on this to the next possible right turn, where you DO cross the RR tracks. You'll see sign on Rt. telling you to turn left onto Irvine Rd to go to County Range, etc.(about 3 miles out). This is very first left just after you cross the tracks. Go straight; range will be on your right.
Coming south on I-25 into Douglas take first exit and before you come to first intersection at Riverbend and Yellowstone you'll need to get into the right hand turning lane and follow on Riverbend Dr till you see Richards St... turn left here onto Richards St. Follow this road (you'll pass Middle School and go over a bridge first) till you cross the RR tracks then turn first hard right onto LaBonte Rd. just after the tracks. Follow to the next possible hard right and cross tracks again, then hard left onto Irvine Rd. The sign on right of road just across the tracks points to the left turn for the County Range, etc. Go about 3 miles and range is on your right.
Coming into Douglas on Highway 59 (from Gillette, Bill,etc.) you need to turn left onto 4th St. and follow it straight through town to the intersection at 4th and Richards St. This will be the second stoplight. You will proceed straight through this light which puts you onto LaBonte Rd (4th St changes here to LaBonte and RR tracks will be on your right). Follow this to the next possible right hand turn, cross RR tracks and turn hard left; sign just past tracks on right points left onto Irvine Rd. to get to the County Range, about 3 miles out on the right.
