Graves near Deer Park Shelter?

[HikerMan36]

I am curious about the graves of George and Eva Gragg which are located near the Deer Park Shelter, South of Hot Springs. If anyone out there has any info. on this please share, I am interested in the history behind it.

I have this book, as it turns out.

Where is this gravestone? I missed it when I hiked through the area.

That looks like an outstanding book, when was it written? I'll now have to go to the book store today!

Thanks for the info. The gravesite was just a short distance (maybe 50 yds.) north from the spur trail leading to Deer Park Shelter. They (there are two graves) were set back into a little clearing just off of the trail.

2002. With due respect to the author, it's not a tightly-edited book. But it does compile some interesting things about some trail names and locations.

That explains why we didn't see them. It was past dark and at the end of a long 16-mile day for my wife, when we hiked into Deer Park Shelter. Had I known, I would have gone back the next morning (before the short jaunt into Hot Springs) to take a gander and some photos.
