Tombstone Photographs

As you exit Interstate 70 north at DeBeque, the road turns into 45 Road.  Follow 45 Road for one mile to the cemetery (45 Road and Minter Avenue).  There is a marker just inside the entrance that reads, "The faults of our brothers we write upon the sand.  Their virtues upon tablets of love and memory."--Grand Junction Lodge No. 575 BPOE
