Re: [mou-net] Best Approach to birding Carlos Avery?

Hi folks: I live very near to Carlos, so I can speak to this. If you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle, you're good to go. If you don't, the roads are mostly all sand, and be very wet, pitted, and hard to drive on, please don't attempt it with just one vehicle or if you don't have a cell phone t
