Hi all, I'm heading to Aitkin County for the first time on Monday for a day-trip. I'm curious what the best approach is. I do have "The Birder's Guide to Minnesota," but my plan was to simply go north on 169 and look for County Road 18, and go along that most of the day and perhaps check out the snowmobile trail or Pietz Road. The reason for the post is I'm concerned about being able to find where to turn off of 169 and want to maximize my chances to view birds. I'm looking for a little help in terms of directions from those with more experience. I keep typing in County Road 18 and Aitkin to Google Maps, but get nothing. My concern is I'll waste an entire day trying to find a road which is often not labeled right on the online map as it may be an avenue and not the actual county road. So if you wouldn't mind e-mailing me I'd appreciate it. I'm heading north on 169, that much I know, but where do I go from there to find the right turn-offs, and is my day best spent along the road going up and down it to try to find birds, or should I take a trail and if so how long is the trail?
Thanks so much, Fr. Paul ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
