Conkling, Kentucky - Obscure Lincoln Monument Carved by Mysterious Peddler

We visited this sight, but unfortunately could not find the art work. The property owned by the Combs seems to be deserted, and the small concrete bridge for vehicles is uprooted and impassable. We climbed up to the first flat open area, but no trail or open space was visible and without distinct directions or the owners of the house available, we gave up. [Diane Plumley, 09/18/2009]
