Sharon,
Open Google Maps and enter: 35.309503, -84.037208 in the search box. That will
show you just about where you'll park your car at Whigg Meadow. Google Maps
can then give you directions to that location.

So, can anyone provide exact directions for getting to Whigg Meadow? I'd never
even heard of it before, but it sounds like a great place and I'd love to try
to get there during the banding period. I've found the general location, but it
says it's "a few miles" off the Cherohala Skyway "via a gravel road" and I feel
like I might need a few more specifics to actually find it. :D

We will be running Whigg daily from Saturday August 30 through Saturday
September 28. Visitors are welcome anytime. Nets are open from 7a-3p.
For those that don't know, David Vogt "retired" from coordinating Whigg last
year and somehow I got swindled into coordinating it! David is still a regular
bander, just with no extra responsibilities now (must be nice!). So this is my
second year coordinating and the 17th consecutive year for Whigg. This year
will very interesting since significant habitat work has been done on and
around the netting area, which will likely not only increase our captures but
is also going to be good for breeding Golden-winged Warblers. We've taken
advantage of this change to ask some specific questions about habitat and bird
captures. I can't wait to get up there in a couple weeks!

Just curious. What dates this year will the Whigg Meadow bending station be up
and running?
Also, what are the rules, so to speak, about visiting and observing?
Thanks.
