dont go by mapquest directions or whatever....they always suck...the lil disclaimer at the bottom of there site says make sure these roads still exist before you take them... ...the easiest way to get there is:

go up 6 to 21
right on 21 to 39(north Zulch)
left on 39 to 79(jewitt)
right on 79 palestine...
here you can take a left on the loop(loop 256 i think) before you get to palestine and then a left on 155.....or you can go through palestine on 79 and take a left on the loop after you pass palestine and a right onto 155...i would suggest the first...
155 to loop 323 around tyler
right on loop 323
go around to 271
right on 271 and take that all the way into gilmer...someone there will know where to point you..



that is the way i went last time i was there...i dont know if anyone else goes taht way or not but im sure they will post up...
