I am not sure if I will confuse more people or not but some of the directions I have been seeing on posts for the Mountain Bluebird don't make sense to me. Maybe I am misunderstanding the post from William below but if you go PAST 77TH STREET there is a small park sign and you can turn right into a (muddy right now) parking lot. There is no need to walk over piles of gravel, but again, maybe this is just another way so I hope I don't bring about confusion - not my intent. See the PDF file link below that has a blow up of the park. And as William states it is very "strange, isolated, and triangular." I am truly hoping that this helps.

I don't have a GPS to follow the coordinates, but, on my home computer, I bring up Google Maps and type the coordinates into the "search" box and hit enter: it comes right up on the map. After taking down the roads to get there [I-94 to co. rd. 24 (Clearwater)over the Mississippi to Co. Rd. 8 SE (also called River Road)northward to 77th STREET (don't let the avenues confuse you because they also come into Co. Rd. 8); turn left into 77th St. and take it to a 90 degree turn left - STOP THERE AND PARK - going further is private road going to a farm house- (looking at the aerial view on Google maps is helpful, too); then continue to walk straight west (over the half dozen piles of gravel) about 40 yards and the triangle of open meadow will be on your right. The coordinates take you about 2/3 toward the far end - that is where we first saw the BBs; after that they chased around the meadow but seemed to like to return to that first spot! The Solitaire was there, too. Did I give you too much information? Bill ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
