Map:

Directions:
Take exit 352A (Wells/93) from I80 and go south on highway 93 for 9.3 miles to the Tobar 7 miles sign on the left. There is a work/sand/gravel area at this point. (Along the way from Wells at 5.5 miles, you will pass the exit to highway 232 for the Boaz site. See Boaz.) Exit highway 93 at the Tobar 7 miles sign and go straight through the work/sand/gravel area to the dirt road that takes off on the right to Tobar. (There are no signs.)
At .3 miles from exiting highway 93, the road splits left and right. Go to the left towards the tracks.
At .6 miles you will come to a dirt road that parallels the tracks. Go to the right and stay on the main gravel road all the way.
At 1.4 miles there are two white posts, one with a black top and one with a white top, (there are several of these posts along the way). It looks like there might have been something here at one time and this is about where the maps show Ruby. Is this the Ruby site?
If you were to continue along this road for another 4.9 miles, you would come to the Tobar site. See Tobar.
Heading back, dont miss the left turn at .8 miles from the Ruby site and the right turn at 1.1 miles to get back to the work/sand/gravel area and back to highway 93.
Access:
There is a good dirt/gravel road all the way. A 2WD vehicle should be OK in good weather. A vehicle pulling a trailer or camper should be OK.
Comments:
Use caution along the tracks since they are active.
