To find Ophir Cemetery go South from the Telluride, Colorado 
intersection on Highway 145 for about 7 miles or so and turn east 
on the road to Ophir (signs posted).  Go about 2.8 miles to "East 
Ophir."  The road makes a Y, take the left branch, take the first 
left turn to the end of the road (about 2 blocks).  The cemetery 
is on the hillside mostly hidden in the trees.  A lot of graves do 
not have stones; only fences falling down around them.
