Southern Oregon in Applegate Valley. 2 hours east of the big coastal redwoods / ocean.
Got Google Earth? If so, open it first. Then click this link.

Summer satellite image, so all the grass and fields are brown. That link should drop you right on top of the madrone I attached the image of. The big green roof to the left or west, is the library, which is very nice to have next door. It's paved driveway is our access.
If anyone uses Google Earth, and sets it to display the decimal coordinates of the pointer as you move the cursor, you can find your coordinate points and substitute them in this code snippet:

No space after comma. May not display in forum right, but may need to right click, copy and paste to see it. Very short bit of code that does a lot.
On the hiking pages within my advice pages, I added not only the GPS coordinates of many local and Oregon hiking trails, but I put a Google Earth Icon on the page somewhere with that code link snippet embedded in code, to auto-load Google Earth for that coordinate. Did likewise with Google Maps, but the code snippet is slightly different.
