Warning of technology glitch: Make sure you turn on Rabbit Springs; Do not believe your GPS if directed to turn onto Buena Vista from Highway 18: it is undeveloped.  Do not believe your GPS if it tells you to turn right toward the valley (south) from Rabbit Springs – (this will take you back across Highway 18 and far, far away).
