OK,
Many of you have asked for directions to the new Reserve.
Go to Mt. Vernon, take the College Way exit going east. At LaVenture
(traffic light and community college) turn LEFT.
Go along LaVenture to where it drops down into the valley and the speed
limit sign changes to 50mph. (BE SURE TO DRIVE 25 mph between the light and
the valley floor as the cops are out giving tickets).
From the 50 mph sign (the road is now called Francis Road) it is about
2.2 miles to the DeBay Isle Road turn. DeBay Isle road is a left turn at
the corner of Francis Road's right bend. If you miss this turn there is a
small parking lot if you go straight instead of taking the Francis Road
bend. You can turn around here and get on DeBay Road.
IF THE GATE IS CLOSED, Please walk in. If the gate is open, you may
drive in.

At this time you may need the WDFW parking decal, although enforcement there
is not likely. The Stewardship Group is working to get this site exempt
from the need for a decal, but so far this is not official. I understand
that during the legislative session, enforcement is not likely to happen.
