Directions to Beginner's Mind Music
From Carbondale/Aspen
- From the Roaring Fork Valley, drive over McClure Pass on Hwy 133
- When you get to Paonia, DRIVE PAST BOTH PAONIA EXITS. (The second exit is across from a Conoco station).
- Drive past "Paonia Drive in Sign."
- Drive past Stucker Mesa Rd (on right)
- Drive past Delicious Orchards / Wine Tasting.
- Drive past next red address sign on left
- Look for next set of address signs. There is a single red sign in front, then behind a stack of three red address signs. The middle number is 38814.
- Turn left off the highway (be careful of people trying to pass on your left!) If you're still on the highway and you have started going up the hill you have gone to far.
- After turning left off the highway stay right/straight on dirt drive way (DRIVE SLOW!). The Highway will be parallel to you and above you.
- Drive slow down dirt road until it turns to the left and you see a big red barn like house.
- YOU MADE IT!
From Crested Butte
Either go over Kebler Pass and down into Paonia (above), or go through Gunnison and over Black Canyon through Crawford and straight to Hotchkiss. When you reach Hotchkiss do this:
- Take right at City market/ Highway 133 (sign for Paonia)
- Drive past Farmer Franks Outlet stores (Bunch of brown buildings on right)
- Drive past Suncatcher Inn on left
- Drive past DJ Storage on left
- Drive past Pumpkin Hollow Rd on right (big metal building off the road)
- Drive a little farther and road will start to go down a hill. If you look to the right you will se my red house down in the meadow area.
- At bottom of hill you will see three red address signs stacked on top of each other. The middle reads 38814. You will be taking a very sharp 180-degree turn at those red signs. You will need to be going VERY SLOW, as the turn is super sharp. It may be better to go past my drive and turn around at Delicious Orchards and come back the other way. Either way you need to be careful when turning off Highway 133.
- Drive slow down dirt road until it turns to the left and you see a big red barn like house.
- YOU MADE IT!
