The location is where the red pine and hardwood forest meets the Black River Marsh. Listen for the calls of the many marsh-loving red winged blackbirds. (Click here to listen - exterior website.)

You're looking for a camouflage-duct-tape-covered Bison tube. Heavy tree cover may interfere with GPS signals.

I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
