Unknown Buffalo Hunter Burial Site and Headstone.

Finding and documenting remote burials in Colorado can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging! I didn't really expect to find any sign of the "Unknown Buffalo Hunter" that died in the 1870's...but persistence paid off.

Desolate drive on a lonely dirt road to find this site.
