My point is that to get the savings of 35 miles you mention, you'd have
to stop counting before Stoneman Lake.  I-17's exit is 306, which is 106
miles.  147 - 106 = 41 mi  The distance to the site is a lot closer to 30
miles than 6.  So I'm concluding that your mileage values for Stoneman
Lake Rd are nonsensical.

According to Steve's directions Lake Mary Rd is paved.  Does the pavement
stop somewhere between FR-229's turn-off, through Happy Jack, to the
Stoneman Lake Rd turn-off?  I ask because you state in your previous
message that the 25 miles was the length of the washboard road and I'm
trying to create an accurate map.
