The opposite shoreline is all private property in a residential development called The Villages. You can get there by going across the toll bridge, the entrance is about 2 miles up on the left. There are many vacant lots but access may be restricted.

Are you going to have a boat? Maybe I should rephrase, are you going to have the new boat?

I've seen people pull their cars over to the side of the road
on the toll bridge road ( I believe it's called MM )
and walk down towards the course.

Don't know what their vantage point is, but, at least
it's on the same side as the course.

I've seen the cars stacked up pretty good there too. I havent walked down there but It looks like it could be pretty steep. I think it would put you right on the course thou.

To anyone who knows, exactly where is the course beginning to end for 2007? Specifically do the boats run from East to West in front of Shooters or the opposite direction. The run starting point is where and the radar/finish line is where?

I would strongly recommend not parking on the toll bridge side and walking. Not much there. All wooded, private property, very steep. No party over there anyway....
