From the center of East Hartland at the junction of Routes 179 and 20, follow Route 20 West (to do so, you will actually turn north, driving past the big white church on your right in the center of town). After about a mile you will see the Wilderness School (log houses) on your left, as a landmark. At the Wilderness School/D.O.T. area, you will also pass the first entrance to Hurricane Brook Road on your right (there is a wooden sign for the road). Do not take this entrance! Keep going down Route 20.

Follow Route 20 a total of 2.8 miles (from the jct. with 179 in East Hartland center). Right after a white “Do Not Pass” sign and a yellow sign warning of a curve to the left, take a right (if you go around the curve, you went too far!). This is Hurricane Brook Road. You will see the gate right away. Park in this area, without blocking the gate.

It will be about 1000 steps. We counted coming down hill so it may be less then that . I got the directions from the DEP Tunxis State Forest clues so if you haven't gotten that one yet bring it along. its not as far up as that one but pretty close. As you get up the road to about 1000 steps you will see a dead pine arched over a glacier of rocks on your right from there take a reading of about 270 degrees. to a stump off the road look in and behind the stump to find Mr. owl.
Instead of how licks does it take to get to the center of a tooties pop? it is how many steps does it take to get to Mr. owl.?
