Please click on your choice of maps for a larger view which is
suitable for printing... We are located about half way between Lacombe (on Highway
#2) to the east and Rocky Mountain House (Highway 22 & 11) to the
west…directions are below. From Lacombe (east of us): Head WEST on Highway #12, you'll go through the "lake district" and through
a little town called Bentley. Keep going straight ahead on Highway #12,
through the stop sign at the highway just after Bentley (be careful it's a
bad corner for accidents!) and you'll pass between two big gas plants and
pass the turnoff for Eckville. You're in "our valley" now and we're on the
west side of it. Watch for a large green sign “Gimlet Community
Hall/Father’s Day Rodeo” a few miles further on. Go one more road (1 mile)
west of that to Range Road 4-4 & and turn north (right). There is a large "Feddersen's
Auto Wrecking" sign at the corner. Go north 1-3/4 miles and our farm is on
the right hand side (east side) of the road. Ivory siding and a blue tin
roof. From Rocky Mountain House (west of us): Take Highway #22 north from Rocky - please note that you have to turn right
off of the combined Hwy #11 & 22 just outside the town limits. If you
miss the right turn you'll end up visiting our beautiful Rocky Mountains!
Once you're headed north on Hwy #22 go to the Highway #12 junction (about
8 km). Turn east (right) toward Bentley. Stay on Highway #12 for about
25km. You’ll pass the turn to
go to Leslieville (that's Highway 761) and you keep going over the next couple of hills and start down into
the Medicine River Valley. Watch for a large "Feddersen's Auto Wrecking"
sign on the north side of the corner at Range Road 4-4. Turn north
(left) on Range Road 4-4. Go north 1-3/4 miles and our farm is on the right hand side (east side) of the road. Ivory siding and a
blue tin roof.
From west Calgary/Cochrane: If you come from west of Highway #2, the short way
for you might be to come up Highway #22, through Sundre and to Hwy
54. Turn right and go a couple of kms to Hwy 761 north. Turn left on
761 and follow it all the way up to Hwy 12. There is a little “left”
dog-leg at Hwy 11 so you go left then right back on to Hwy 761 to
Leslieville. About 10 km past Leslieville you’ll hit Hwy 12.
Turn right and you go up a big hill and continue for about 4 km, on
the left hand side as you start to head down into a wide valley,
you’ll see a sign “Fedderson’s Auto Wrecking”…that’s Rge Rd 4-4.
Turn left on to that road and we’re 3 km up it on the right hand
side. Ivory siding, blue metal roof, red out buildings. |
