Options are to:
1) Meet at the Park & Ride off of East Broadway at 9:30 AM to carpool (on Broadway east of Van Buren St).
2) Drive to the ranch yourself. It is about a 1 hour drive from Missoula. The directions are:
Take Highway 200 to Ovando and turn left on Monture Creek Road (directly opposite the road into Ovando). If you come to Trixi's Antler Saloon you've gone too far (don't worry about a multitude of roads to confuse your choice, Monture Creek Rd is the only option).
Go around 4.5 miles on Monture Creek Rd (north towards to mountains). After coming down a long grade and then the road bending right, look left for a house with barns, horses and equipment. This is our ranch, turn in left at the entrance (if you suddenly come to a large hay field, you've gone too far).
Following the road past the house and barns (very slowly please! the dust is terrible), it will bend right, cross a stream and then bend left. The lodge is a few hundred yards on the left, park with the other cars and come on in.
