The other two meetings originally planned have been cancelled and we will meet at the place of touring or activity.

Detailed location of Palmer Ranch is 1 3/4 west of Augusta on U.S. 54, KS400 on the north side of the road. There is a Palmer Ranch sign on the north side of the roadway. You will drive slowly through the horse areas, house to the left, horse barn on the right and through an open wrought iron security gate. This will be the start of their home area. You will then go around a few curves and circle around their house to the 2nd open gate and park on the north side of the wrought iron fence. At this point, you will be greeted and lead into the pool area where our social is.
