At approximately 35 miles from I-80, the road rises up a hill and proceeds north from the salt flats. About ½ mile north of the summit of this hill, and across from a sign that reads “Patterson Pass,” take a two-track road to the right (east). Lemay Island Mountain will be in front of you. Proceed two plus miles to the summit of the mountain. This is approximately the center of the property.
