The Daniel Boone monument and burial site at 75.9,
The Standing Rock at 120.6,
Petroglyphs around Huntsdale, 171.2, and Rocheport, 178.3.
Thanks.

What kind of info are you looking for? The Boone memorial is about a quarter mile from the trail, just past the winery entrance. Standing Rock is on the trail, you can't miss it. Petroglyphs are kind of hard to see; they're faded and the light makes a difference.

"What kind of info are you looking for?" Old forts and battlefields. "The Boone memorial is about a quarter mile from the trail" Already on my list.
"Standing Rock is on the trail" Already on my list.
"Petroglyphs are kind of hard to see;" Already on my list.
So is the Santa Fe Trail marker and every one of those Lewis & Clark markers.

The Daniel Boone burial site is really beautiful, and there is a story that goes with it:
Kentucky says they came and got his remains and moved them to his home state. Some Missouri folks say he and his wife are still where they were originally buried. Go find the story and figure out what you believe.
