Here are the directions...

a *small*, nearly undetectable burn near Moses Meadow with 2 pairs of
White-headed (best bird of the day), at least one Black-backed and two
Hairy Woodpeckers. This area can be reached by driving east on Hwy 155 from
Omak for 14.4 miles taking the Crawfish Lake road to the north. Follow this
road for 15.7 miles, passing through Moses Meadow and on down the other side
of the mountain. Look for two beer cans hung on a log hanging over the west
side of the road. The birds were found within a couple of hundred yards of
the west side of the road. This is in the SE corner of T35N R30E and
Delorme Atlas page 115 D-8.
