Quote from earlier post by Denny Granstrand:

Forest Road 1705 Takes off north from Hwy 410 at Whistling Jack Lodge. Take
1705 about 4.6 miles to the first main fork in the road. Take the righthand
fork, go fifty yards and park at a gate blocking a small spur road.

I walked south on the spur road about 3/4 of a mile. The road turned west
for the last 100 yards and ended on top of a very short ridge. The consisted
of little fingers of burned trees with lots of undamaged trees spread
thrughout the burned area.

when I got to the end of the road I stopped to take a look around and
almost immediately heard a woodpecker tapping. I noticed many trees with the
tell-tale sign of Three-toed and/or Black-backed Woodpeckers.

These directions worked perfectly for me on Friday.

Can anyone please direct me to the directions to the burn site off Hwy 410
where blackbacked woodpeckers have been seen? I understand that Andy S.
posted excellent directions, but I can't seem to find them. A reference to
the date or digest number of the post would be good enough for me if it was
posted in the last month or so. I plan a drive in that direction tomorrow,
so if anyone could reply direct to me I would appreciate it. Thanks.
