  • Go to the 20 /75 junction north of Shoshone, Idaho. There is a small R.V. camp there. Turn south on 75 and go along next to the highway on the west side to the tree farm. Turn right and go west until you get to the fence. Walk thru the pasture and you will see a road going north (on the right where the pasture ends). This road will take you to the cemetery. Walk the pasture and road. If in doubt ask directions and permission to enter pasture land. I walked this cemetery Sep, 04, 1999 and transcribed the inscriptions. - Kevin S McMullin
