This point is 0.2 mile from the cemetery, which can be found roughly as follows: follow the logging road to a hunting camp, then turn right on an ATV trail once through the hunting camp. Follow the ATV trail for 100 feet and turn left into the woods. The cemetery is on a small hill with a large cedar tree inside the wire enclosure.
