To find Evergreen Sportsman’s Club (12736 Marksman Road SW, Olympia, WA. 98512, 360-357-9080) take Exit 95 from Interstate 5 and go west four miles to Littlerock.  Go straight through Littlerock to Mima Road.  Turn left and head south for 1.2 miles to Bordeaux Road.  Turn to the west again and go only 6/10s of a mile to turn right on Marksman Road.  That will lead you straight into the sportsman’s club.  The sign-up and registration tent is over by the creek.  Look for the flagpole.
