We live about 6 miles outside a small town (446) called Ellsinore MO on CR 234 and GPS will actually get you to CR234 and our driveway.

Our place is actually easier to find then our house was in town, for some it will be 30 miles further and some 30 miles less.
If coming south from IL, the NE area of the US, or SE area of US such as Memphis, take I-55 or I-57 to US 60, and US 60 to Poplar Bluff, and if coming by I-55 go to the I-55 and US 60 interchange at Sikeston MO. Take the 60 West exit to Poplar Bluff, approx 52 miles. At the second Poplar Bluff exit overpass take the first exit 60/67 North to St Louis and go north about 7 miles and then take the highway 60 West exit and go west about 20 miles to Ellsinore MO. Be careful here at this town as it is a speed trap and the city cop has quite a few hiding place along the mile or so of the highway he watches. Anyway continue on 60 West, don't turn off in Ellsinore except LearJack fuel center & motel if needing fuel or lodging for weekend. As you pass the fuel center go about 3 miles west to the highway 21 south (on the right on hill is a MODOT work center with fuel tanks, road repair materials etc.) make a left turn on to 21 south and go 2 miles down 21 to K highway on your left (it's about 25 yards past a saw mill) turn left on to K highway. Be careful here and don't cut the apex of the turn as it's at curve and top of a hill, even though a 55mph zone most do 65 or 70mph down the highway. After turning on to K highway go one (1) mile to CR234 it's a dirt/gravel road on right at 3rd curve, the road sign is small and on the stop sign pole and easy missed. Go about 40 feet to curve and just past the curve is a road by the mail boxes to left that follows power and telephone lines down the hill past a open area that full of junk then up the hill and turn right and go thru the wooded drive to house.
If coming in from the south of town on Hwy 67N take the bypass around Poplar Buff for about 5 or 6 miles till come to 67N exit to St Louis and then go north about 7 miles and then take the highway 60 West exit and go west about 20 miles to Ellsinore MO. Be careful here at this town as it is a speed trap and the city cop has quite a few hiding place along the mile or so of the highway he watches.

If you are coming from St Louis take I-55 South to Festus/Crystal City area, (exit 174 I think) then take 67 South for about 110 miles and take 60 west exit for Springfield and then take the highway 60 West exit west about 20 miles to Ellsinore MO. Be careful here at this town as it is a speed trap and the city cop has quite a few hiding place along the mile or so of the highway he watches.

You guys coming from KC area or areas west can hit 60 where ever you want from Springfield or further east like from Columbia or west St Louis suburbs area can come down 21 South to 60 and go east about 10 miles to 21 south and turn right on 21 and go 2 miles down 21 to K highway on your left (it's about 25 yards past a saw mill) turn left on to K highway.
