DRIVE TIME:__About_40_minutes ___________________________________

1. Go NORTH on Interstate Highway 35 (i.e., "IH35").

2. After passing the "51st Street" exit, get in the 4th from the LEFT lane. (This will sometimes be the rightmost lane and sometimes the 2nd from the right). Stay in this lane.

3. Take the "NORTH 183" exit. This is a right hand exit. Stay in the 4th from the left lane (hopefully, the one you're already in). An entrance ramp will create an additional lane to your right. Stay in your lane. Your lane will exit onto 183 NORTH. WATCH OUT for traffic STOPPING IN YOUR LANE !. Watch out for people missing this exit and crowding into your lane from the left! Just let 'em go. Careful! Careful!

4. Now you're on 183 NORTH for about 7 - 10 miles. It's easy going from here. Time to Rela-a-a-a-ax.

5. AFTER the "Anderson Mill Road" exit, look for the "Lake Creek Pkwy" exit.

6. TAKE the "Lake Creek Pkwy" exit and go straight through three traffic lights (when they're green). Turn LEFT at the next traffic light under the 183 flyover bridge onto Route 620 (West).

7. Start counting traffic lights.

8. At the 13TH traffic light, there will be a 7-11 store on your right. THIS IS ONLY A LANDMARK. You're at Route 2222 (to the right, Route 2222 is called "Bullick Hollow Road". Go figure.)

9. Keep going straight on Route 620 West (or is it "South" now) but check your odometer or trip meter at this light.

10. Continue on Route 620 South for 2.1 miles past "St. Lukes on the Lake" Church overlooking Lake Travis on your right.

11. Just past the next traffic light (on the next curve), if clear, get on the shoulder of the road and slow down. Traffic behind you will be coming around the curve at 60 MPH. Slowly turn RIGHT onto MARSHALL FORD ROAD.

12. Turn RIGHT at the 4TH street onto PARK DRIVE. There's also a brown sign just before PARK DRIVE that says to "TOM HUGHES PARK".

13. The speed limit is 15 MPH. The road is windy and narrow. Watch for oncoming traffic taking their half of the road from the middle.

14. Follow PARK DRIVE for .8 (i.e., 8/10THs) miles to MARSHALL FORD MARINA.

15. Turn LEFT in front of the MARSHALL FORD MARINA sign.

16. Turn RIGHT about 30 feet down the hill at the first right into the parking lot.

17. Walk to the dumpster, LEFT down the stairs, across the driveway at the marina's office and down the next set of stairs. You'll be at the lower patio. To your left are the well kept restrooms.

18. Meet me at the lower patio below the marina's office.

19. Problems finding the place? Call Captain Sam on the cell number, above.
