Subject: RE: Toyota Challenge at Deer Creek - Mini (Olympic) : Official Threadghopper18 - 2009-09-21 7:44 PM Ok, does anyone know how far it is from the lodge at Deer Creek park to the beach. We're staying at the inn and I'm trying not to make the wife and small children wake up early just to drop me off. If it's not too far I was going to ride over with what I needed. Any ideas?
I just checked on Google Earth and it's 7 miles. TO EVERYONE STAYING IN CAMPGROUND OR LODGE: When driving to the beach, when you get out to the main road, it will say to turn LEFT to the beach. Do not do that. Going around the lake to the left is about twice as far as going to the right. I don't know if they are trying to decrease traffic through the farms to the right, or what, but going to the right is much shorter. Turn right, then turn right at the big farm with the grain elevators and silos (Deer Creek Road ). Follow the road around to the left, past the road to the boat ramp (the one we run down ) and turn right where Deer Creek Road ends. You will see the beach entrance on your right. |
