At about 6/10 of a mile, the road splits. Stay straight; do not take the right fork. Stay on the main road (no turns whatsoever). At about 5 miles, the road makes a major split. Take the lower road. At 7.3 miles, you'll reach the Yellow Creek Campground intersection. Turn right. Then, turn right again at the dirt road (looks like a driveway) just past the big, metal arrow and continue past the white house. Veer to the left at the split in the road, and the cemetery is just a few yards ahead. There is a monument near the Yellow Creek Campground with a brief history of the area. The children (3 of them, anyway) of A. & J. Dotta died from Diphtheria. Road condition: Generally well-graded road. No access in winter months, and can be closed at any time due to storms.
