Avery Graveyard

From Brent, take 5 south. Right on bear creek road. The dirt road entrance is unmarked, fenced off, and on the left hand side of the road. You walk this road about a 1/2 mile then begin climbing to the top of the mountain. The graveyard is on the very top of the mountain, and cannot be seen until you are right on top of the stones!

There are at least 25 unmarked graves, possibly more.
