Maps to Opus One
Here are three static Zip2 (they're dead now, of course) maps
(fairly ugly and simple GIF files) from our local server here:
Alternately, we have a
GIS map
showing topological features around Opus One. (We're just to the
South and West of the number "2380" on the map, north of the lot which
has three little boxes on it.)

From I-10 heading South:
-
exit Prince Road, turn East (left) onto Prince
-
continue several miles. When you hit the light at First Avenue
begin to pay attention.
-
the next light is Mountain
-
the first right after Mountain is Vine. Turn South (right) on to
Vine
-
Follow Vine through three stop signs to the corner of Vine and Lind. Go through
the third stop sign and turn left on the first driveway you see. If you find a
VAX-11/780 in the carport, you're in the right place. Go through the wood gate
and we're in the large-ish building in the back.
-
Opus One is on the South-East corner of Vine and Lind at 1404 East Lind.
From the Airport:
-
Exit out of the airport, heading North on the only street you
can. This is Tucson Blvd.
-
when you pass Valencia (first traffic light), set your odometer
to zero.
-
At about 2 miles, you'll hit the 2nd light, Benson Highway (also marked
Irvington) which turns
left-ish. You're actually going straight (i.e., don't get in the left turn
lane), but the road curves to the left and turns into Benson Highway.
-
Get in the right lane. In about 1/2 mile, at the next light, you'll
turn right on Kino parkway. There's also a sign which says
something like "City Center" directing you in that direction.
-
Continue North on Kino until the 9 mile mark. It will go up, down, left,
right, and even change its name to Campbell. Keep going. Do
not be led astray. You'll pass lights at
Ajo, 36th, Silverlake, 22nd, Aviation,
15th, Broadway, and 6th St.
-
At about the 6.5 mile mark, to your left is the University of Arizona.
Try not to hit any pedestrians.
-
At about the 7.5 mile mark is a light for Elm Street. If you're
staying at the Arizona Inn, this is where you would turn right.
-
When you hit the light at Campbell & Glenn (8.5 mile mark), begin to
pay attention again.
-
The next light is Campbell & Ft. Lowell. Turn left. (You're now
at the lower right-hand corner of the map above).
-
Now the going gets rough. Go about 1/3 mile until you see the
residential street "Vine." That's your 3rd right turn.
If you hit the light at Mountain,
you've gone too far; turn around and go back. Turn right on
Vine.
-
Go through the "Do Not Enter" signs. Don't worry, you're only going 100 feet
past. Turn right into the first driveway to your right, and go in through the
gate in the carport.
Opus One is the largish building in the back.
-
You're looking for the South-East corner of Vine and Lind: 1404 East Lind.
If you get lost, call +1 520 324-0494
Other good advice: don't try and get there from Campbell or Mountain;
Lind doesn't go through.
An older map
We have a really old map, back before you could get cool
free maps on the web, right

Common Errors
People can be confused when coming to Opus One. There are several common
errors:
- We don't work in the house in the front. This means that going to the house is
not particularly useful. What you want to do is go to the big building in
back. However, if you do go to the house in front, you can get ahold of us by
pressing the doorphone button. Don't ring the doorbell (no one you want to
talk to is in the house); press the button next to the gadget which looks like
an intercom (because it is).
- We don't work in the workshop. This means that knocking on the door to the
workshop (the corrugated metal door in the carport) is not going to be
particularly profitable, unless someone is in there sawing or preserving olives
or something. Even then, you still aren't going to hit Opus One.
- We do work in the big building with lots of windows. You get to that
building by going into the courtyard (there is a wooden gate from the parking
area/carport which will take you in there; it is never locked) and walking
around to the office. One entire wall is glass---it's easy to find and it's
easy to see us.
If you are confused, then call us on your cell phone (you do have a cell
phone, don't you?) and we'll help you find your way.
