When pulling into the parking lot the Olympic ski jumps will be in view.
To the left is a “trail” sign.
Follow this trail.
In approximately 150 yards is a lone birch tree on the left with a blue trail marker.
Continue on the trail to a post on the right with blue and red trail markers.
Follow the blue trail marker.
In approximately 15 yards turn left.
The Olympic ski jumps will now be in view on the right side of the trail.
At the end of the trail turn right following the red trail marker.
Continue on the trail as it curves and winds down thru the woods.
Along the way look for 4 clusters of large birch trees.
The first cluster will be on the left, and the remaining clusters will alternate sides, right, left and right.
Immediately after the 4th cluster turn right onto an unmarked trail which leads to a grove of pine trees.
Look for a large pine tree on the right.
At the base of the tree, hidden under birch logs, is Birches at John Brown Farm.
Please re-hide well.
Happy Hunting!
