(12816 Park Drive, Austin, TX 78732) ____ FROM:__CENTRAL_AUSTIN__OR__SAN_ANTONIO _____ 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.
