2. THE FRONT WAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF MARSHALLS CREEK:  Take exit 309 (Marshalls Creek); the exit only lets you go one way, so follow the exit on to Route 209 North; you will immediately go through your first traffic light; 4 miles later, you will come to your third traffic light (a T-intersection); make a right at this third traffic light (you are still on Route 209 North); continue for 1 and 1/2 miles and look for Wendy’s on the right side; make the first right turn after Wendy’s on to Mount Nebo Road; drive 1 and 1/2 miles up the hill and the Lobby is on the right
