Turn left on Sugar Bird Hill Rd (Iola Signs point the way at the corner). The tourist trap is no longer there. Watch for Iola signs. Next go 1 block to Crab Curve Rd. Turn right onto Crab Curve. Follow Crab Curve Rd around to the top and park at the carport, where the road ends.. Crab Curve becomes a dirt road as you pass " Iola's" lower level.
