Travel north out of Bishop on US 6. About half-way through the big bend in the highway,
get into the left-turn pocket and go north on Five Bridges Rd. Turn right (east, directly
across from Riverside Rd.), go across a cattle guard and follow the dirt road which veers
north, then east again, and takes you to the pond (see orange on map). There is a parking
area (blue P on the map) just beyond a short dirt road (red on map) which can take you
back to Hwy 6. Note: the orange route is a safer approach to the pond when coming from
Bishop. It avoids a left turn, with no turn pocket, onto the red route in the face of
often fast truck traffic.
Walk north from the parking area, crossing a ditch and going through some brush and
reeds. Approach slowly and quietly, keeping behind cover as much as possible.
