3. To get to ferry:
   1. Turn onto the Diablo Dam Access Road, close to mile marker 127 on Highway 20.

Ferry

• Diablo Lake Ferry - 3pm departure, $20/person RT (Cash. Check?)
• Shuttle to Ross Lake Resort by truck $7/person RT (Cash)

We have 3 boats reserved for Thursday-Sunday: about $100 per person

Packing

• Try to pack things very well. With the ferry/truck/boat route there is a lot of transferring involved and things will roll all over the place if you have open bags etc and paper grocery bags will rip.
• Put stuff in large containers or duffel bags or something handy so you don’t have to transfer dozens of small bags.
