Hello all
Last night the Crane flew into the field to the right of the pond . Everyone
there got good looks at the bird . I stayed to almost dark & the Crane never
came to the water because he or she saw a Blue Heron flying a distance from the
pond & it thought it was one of its own & took off following it . I guess it
came to the pond after I left .
Since some have changed the directions to the place a few times it have become
more confusing to the ones who have not tried to see the Crane . The directions
that I gave the first time are not hard to follow , if the scouts can follow
them any body can . I travel these roads a lot & I can give you at least 6 ways
or more into that area . The reason for posting to follow the scout signs is so
that everyone can enjoy the open fields & the birds that inhabit these fields
just in case the Crane did not show up or you came early .
EASY DIRECTIONS
If from the East take I 64 W to I 81 S to exit 220 to Rt 262 W to Rt. 252 S (
Middlebrook RD. ) to Rt. 693 a right turn ( Cedar Green Rd.) follow to Rt 703 a
left turn ( turkey houses on left ) follow Rt 703 to Swoope Post Office just
past Post Office you will see Rt . 706 a left turn . ( note you will come to a
rail road bridge on Rt.703 over a creek be CAREFUL -- single lane & a curve can
not see on coming cars ) Once on Rt. 706 ( a dirt road ) follow thru you will
come to the intersection of RT. 706 & 705 stay straight & follow to top of
second hill Smith's Pond will be on your left & you can see the white house on
top of hill to your right . This is just one of the back ways in . This is a
direct shot in so please no more direction canges .
