    It is a bit of a walk to get to the monument but the story of John Linford' s life and the other 8 people who were hurried here in a common grave makes you glad you came. You will need to make arrangements for a guide and might possibly be able to ride out in a rover if they aren't too busy. Call the "6th Crossing Visitor's Center at Sweetwater Crossing, WY" to check on their availability.
