The Potter Valley Central RadMet is located behind the Potter Valley Fire Department and in front of the bus yard. The station is installed in soft soil with tall grass ground cover. In the wet season the ground can get quite muddy. Only drive up to the station when the ground is dry, otherwise park next to school.
