Hawk Owl seekers:

Hope I am accurate here but I believe the exit
number is 270. It is the second exit signed for
Birch Bay. I think if you miss it you have to go
clear up to Blaine to get back around to it. Stein
Road is shown clearly on page 108 of DeLorme
at reference 'top half of A block between 3 & 4'.
The raspberry field is very well maintained with
all the canes in rows, clipped and bundled.

PS Keep an eye open for a weird light brown-tannish
crow in the same neighborhood -- quite interesting.
