As you exit Interstate 70 north at DeBeque, the road turns into 
45 Road.  Follow 45 Road for one mile to the cemetery (45 Road and 
Minter Avenue).  There is a marker just inside the entrance that 
reads, "The faults of our brothers we write upon the sand.  Their 
virtues upon tablets of love and memory."
--Grand Junction Lodge No. 575 BPOE
