From the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal:
Coming off the ferry at Horseshoe Bay, get immediately into the right lane & exit right just before you go under the overpass (small sign saying Hwy#99 north). About 1/4 of the way up the hill, you come to a stop sign that has you facing Gleneagles school. Turn right. Then turn right at the next stop sign which will take you over the overpass to the stop sign at highway # 99 North. Make sure that you stop & check carefully at this stop sign, then turn left onto highway # 99.
