Directions to Shadrack Stables Office
  (By Appointment Only)

From Mission Street, take Bay Street toward the University of California (UCSC) entrance.
Before entering UCSC, turn left onto High Street, pass Western Drive on your left and watch for the next street on the left -- its small and not well marked, but there is a green street sign labeled Highview Drive.  If you reach the UCSC Arboretum entrance, you've gone too far, so turn around at that entrance and watch for Highview Drive on the right.  Take Highview Drive westerly.  It dips and curves and then you will see Highview Court on your left.
Turn left and go straight ahead to the driveway for 301 Highview Court.
