Mother Featherlegs Monument

The road to this monument has been improved. It is a 9.4-mile drive down a well-maintained gravel road. Average speed is 30 to 40 mph. Beautiful scenery on this drive to a lovely place that I would enjoy if I was buried there.

Mother Featherlegs shares a site with a couple of other folks. The road is gravel and twisty, look out for cows.
