Directions to the Memorial

Warning: These directions will take you to a very remote area of NW Colorado. Cellular phone service and auto services are limited. Please use caution, let someone know where you are going, and take some food and water with you. A four wheel drive high clearance vehicle is HIGHLY recommended. If you plan on trying to find the hubcap, wear strong pants (jeans) as the shrubs you have to climb through to find it have branches that will scratch your legs up pretty badly.
