I know ... I know ... And some of these U-turns are a bit illegal. Is the turn-off on the southern side or the northern side of the road?

Northern side.

BODYSHOT1

well...the road pretty much runs East-West....if you're traveling east on 70 it's on the right-hand side.

traveling west...it's a left turn, jug-handle and back to eastbound, right-hand side.
