Reset your milometer as you join 420 Ln to head South.
A mile south of the lake entrance as you cross 530 Rd you will see an
extensive prairie-dog town on your right (west).
The route now crosses successive numbered roads - 520, 510, 490, 480.
Turn left (east) on to 470 Rd.

Over the next three miles or so you will cross 410 Ln and pass a number of
ranch mailboxes. When you see Marcy’s, you’re approaching the next junction.
This is a simple T, and you can’t miss it: you are surrounded by a set of feed
lots and corrals.
Turn right (south) onto 390 Ln.
You are now in the Mirage Flats area, where Old Jules first settled, in the mid-1880s.
A mile and a half along this road you’ll come to the Sacred Heart Church on your
right. There is also one of the old metal highway signs "37 Tour", on
your left.
When Old Jules deeded this plot to the church it seems that his main motivation was
to ensure that Fr McNamara of Alliance, a stamp-collector like himself, would continue
to visit and provide stimulating company. Jules himself had no time for any religion.
