Additional Information

Directions to Wildcat Meadows

Take Hiway 126 to Mile Post #30, which is two miles west of the town of Walton. Exactly at the Mile Post #30 sign is Pataha Creek Road - if you're coming from the Eugene area, turn left onto it; if you're coming from the Florence area, turn right onto it. The turn onto Pataha Creek Road is on a curve, with fast traffic coming from both directions - please watch carefully when turning (both coming to and going from the event). At the turn, there is a sign that says, "Fernleigh". Once on Pataha Creek Road, drive slowly over the railroad tracks, then slowly over the bridge. About 100 yards after the bridge, there will be a sign to park on the left - you're now at Wildcat Meadows.
