Outdoor Kennel Run

 

Gumbo hangs out with two older ladies, Gracie and Fiona, in the play yard
 


I'm trying to get some rest.
Do you think you could
move along?

Directions

 

Leander is one giant speed trap.  Please use caution while driving through the Leander area, especially County Road 279.  The speed limit on CR 279 is 45 mph.  I usually have to set my cruise control--I just can't seem to control my car any other way, especially since it is so easy to go fast on a seemingly deserted country road.  Deserted by everyone except the Williamson County Sheriff, Leander Police and state troopers.  If you go Bagdad Road the speed limit changes to 40 mph.  We now have 183A which makes it incredibly easy to zip up to our kennel but you must have a Tex Tag to be able to use it.

FROM THE NORTH:

Go South on 183.  We are a couple of miles south of Seward Junction (Hwy 29).  Turn right on Old 2243 West at the traffic light (by the giant HEB). If you reach the traffic light at FM 2243 (at the Exxon station) you have gone too far.  Follow Old 2243 West until you reach a traffic light which is County Road 279 and turn right at the traffic light.  (County Road 279 is the extension of Old Bagdad Road).  From the traffic light drive 3 miles and turn right on Live Oak (across from a small cemetery).  Drive .7 miles and take the second left which is Arthur Circle.  Drive straight into our driveway (4205).  There's a black iron gate with Gold Ducat on it.

FROM THE SOUTH:

Go north on Hwy 183 and stay on it while it turns into 183A (it's worth the toll).  You'll cross FM 1431 and then the toll road runs out and turns into frontage road.  Go through the next two lights (New Hope Road and Crystal Falls Parkway) and then turn left at the third light which is FM 2243.  Go left on FM 2243 until you reach the light at Hwy 183 and turn right.  Go two blocks to Old 2243 West at the traffic light
(by the giant HEB). Go left on Old 2243 West until you reach a traffic light which is County Road 279 and turn right at the traffic light.  (County Road 279 is the extension of Old Bagdad Road).  From the traffic light drive 3 miles and turn right on Live Oak (across from a small cemetery).  Drive .7 miles and take the second left which is Arthur Circle.  Drive straight into our driveway (4205).  There's a black iron gate with Gold Ducat on it.

FROM THE EAST:

From I-35 turn west on FM 2243 (Exit #260).  Go approximately 13 miles until the traffic light at Hwy 183.  Turn right.  Turn left at the next traffic light which is Old 2243 West
(by the giant HEB). Go approximately 1 mile to County Road 279 and turn right at the traffic light.  (County Road 279 is the extension of Old Bagdad Road).  From the traffic light drive 3 miles and turn right on Live Oak (across from a small cemetery).   Drive .7 miles and take the second left which is Arthur Circle.  Drive straight into our driveway (4205).  There's a black iron gate with Gold Ducat on it.

 

NEW SHORTCUT (or how to avoid the long light at Bagdad and FM 2243): 
 

When driving north, instead of turning left in front of the HEB (Old 2243 West), keep on going to the next left turn which is San Gabriel Parkway.  There are new lights there but they are still covered and not activated yet (although it is only a matter of time).  After turning left on San Gabriel, go .9 miles and turn left at the stop sign on to Halsey.  Go to the end of Halsey (.6 miles) and turn right on County Road 279.  Proceed until you reach Live Oak (2.1 miles from where Halsey intersects County Road 279).  Then follow the other directions:  i.e. drive .7 miles and take the second left which is Arthur Circle.  Drive straight into our driveway (4205).  There's a black iron gate with Gold Ducat on it.
 
Eventually San Gabriel Parkway will go all the way through to the Toll Road.
