    There are two basic ways to get to Keller: 6670 Co Rd 15 SW, Byron, MN 55920  (yes it's closer to Rochester, but it has a Byron address).

    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6670+Co+Rd+15+SW,+Rochester,+MN+55904&sll=44.019981,-92.460378&sspn=0.006697,0.017617&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=6670+Co+Rd+15+SW,+Byron,+Olmsted,+Minnesota+55920

    Driving directions from US 63 and MN 30 (on south side of Rochester Airport). Go west on MN 30 for 4.6 mi. Then north on Co Rd 15 for 2.3 mi, when you get to the top of a hill (2mi), you'll know your almost there, over the bridge, past the house (left side) then on the right look for the clump of trees and drive way and you're there.

    This way is a few minutes longer drive but is much easier to get to you there the first couple of times.

    Once you've been there, you can us the more direct route, but it has a couple of turns that you need to watch for:
    From Apache Mall, take Salem Glen Road (3.5 miles past the split with West Circle Drive), then south on Co Rd 15 for 4.1 miles. If you go over the bridge and up a hill, you've gone too far.

    Both ways are asphalt 🙂 but Keller is packed gravel.
