0 1 2 3             Hi , my name is David Burnight, and I am going to give you directions on how to get to Deep Creek, in case you ever want to go to Deep Creek.

0 1 2 3             Well, first you go up to the county road and you turn right and you go about a mile to where the pavement ends.

0 1 2 3             And then you’re on a dirt road with many little winding turns and it’s a good idea to honk your horn before you go around any curve, because you can’t see anybody who’s coming.

0 1 2 3             It’s also a good idea to wait if there’s a car ahead of you, because they’ll

raise a lot of dust on the dirt road.

0 1 2 3             And it’s a good idea to not get into the ruts-just to follow along on the high parts of the road.

0 1 2 3             After you’ve gone down the hill a ways you’ll come to a creek and cross over,

0 1 2 3             and there’s a homestead cabin on the right and just past the homestead cabin there are two possibilities:  

0 1 2 3             the road forks off to the right, and if you take the right fork and go about a quarter of a mile or so, pretty soon the creek will be visible right on your left.  And you can go to the very sharp right turn and park.

0 1 2 3             You have to park there, because if you go much farther the road is all washed out.

0 1 2 3             And you can go down to the creek there, and there’s a pool that’s five feet deep with a slide in it. and some rocks that you can lie out on-very pretty.  

0 1 2 3             The other possibility is to go, instead of taking that right fork, is to go straight ahead and cross another creek and ignore the road to Squint’s ranch over on the left, and go straight ahead to a very steep downhill.

0 1 2 3             And it’s kind of scary but actually you can do it alright in your car.

0 1 2 3             At the bottom of the hill there’s another creek to cross and then you drive about a quarter of a mile through the woods along a dirt road and you’ll come to a parking lot.  

0 1 2 3             There may be one or two other cars there, maybe more on a weekend.  

0 1 2 3             This is a favorite place for fishermen and for picnickers and if you go down the path toward the creek, cross over the little creek on your left on a log, and walk along the path about 50 feet you’ll come to a big bridge-a hiker’s bridge.  

0 1 2 3             And you can either go under the bridge or go up and cross over the bridge and you’ll find a big pool to swim in and a sandy beach.  

0 1 2 3             It’s a lovely spot and I hope you find it.
