Driving Directions from the West

If you are traveling out of the West on Interstate 20, come to the Midkiff Rd. exit 134 and exit off to the right. Turn Left and travel up over I-20 that you just exited. Turn Right just before the Chevron Station and travel East on the North Access Rd. for approximately 8 tenths of a mile and you will see the Large Horseshoe Complex on the Left side of the road. You will make a Left turn into the complex across traffic. If you don’t want to fight traffic here then stay on the Interstate and go to the Rankin Highway exit and loop under Highway 20 and travel West on the North Access Road staying in the far right lane and going right by the Comfort Inn and the West Texas Inn immediately after Left turning over Rankin Highway. You travel down by the Petroleum Museum and at approximately 1.2 miles then you will be making a right turn into the Horseshoe Complex. Drive right up to the large double doors on the largest building on the left side of the parking lot and we will be driving right into the arena to set up.

For finding the guest motel: Make a right turn on the access road and go West for approximately 8 tenths of a mile making a Right turn on to Midkiff Rd. Travel down Midkiff Rd. for approximately 1 mile. At the light at Wall St. you make a Right turn, (be sure and swing wide left as the road makes a "Y" and you want the left branch of the "Y".) The left lane keeps you on Wall St. for 4 tenths of a mile and you will be sitting at the side of the Ramada Inn Limited, which is at 3100 West Wall St. in Midland. (The front of the Ramada Inn faces out on Powell St. and you can keep an eye out for that Street Marker as well.) They will serve a Continental Breakfast but the Horseshoe vendor will be selling breakfast at the Horseshoe as well, for a fee of course.

If you are coming into Midland on 191 from the direction of Odessa, Texas notice the big Cingular building where you exit and take our Loop 250 South for 3.6 miles and pick up Interstate 20. Then follow the directions given in paragraph one.

Another way you might come from Odessa is on Business 20 (Old Highway 80). You travel East out of Odessa once you come under the 338 overpass for 11.7 miles and you cross over Midkiff Rd. near Denny’s Restaurant. If you want to go to the Horseshoe Complex first then make a Right turn on Midkiff Rd. and travel approximately One Mile making a left turn onto the Access Road traveling East for about 8 tenths of a mile. You have to make a left turn into the Complex watching for on coming traffic. To find the guest motel make a right after leaving the Horseshoe Complex and go to Midkiff Rd. travel approximately One Mile make a Right turn (swing wide to the left as the road makes a "Y" and you want to take the left road of the "Y"). This road turns into Wall St. and when you have gone 4 tenths of a mile and you are at 3100 W. Wall you will be at the side of the guest motel. It faces out on Powell St. so you might look for that Street Marker as well
