At that intersection, stay straight on Hwy 516, which becomes Main Street as you enter Farmington.  Look for Browning Parkway (still Hwy 516), where you turn left. Drive to the first traffic light, turn right, proceed to the roundabout, go right there, then take your first left, which takes you to a parking area, next to a gate. We will meet there.

Or from US 64 south of Farmington, turn north onto Browning Parkway (NM-516), and go to the third traffic light, turn left there, proceed right at the roundabout, then take your first left, which takes you to a parking area, next to a gate. We will meet there.
