This cemetery is inside the boundaries of a firing range. It is best that visitors check with "Range Control" before driving near the firing range. In the photo on the cemetery page is a tall dark green flag pole. If the range "is hot" there will be a red pennant flag on that flag pole indicating that there is active firing happening on the range. Civilians are not allowed on the firing ranges when they are active.
Driving directions:
Take I-5 to exit number 120, towards FORT LEWIS/NO. FORT LEWIS.
Merge onto FORT LEWIS exit at the fork in the ramp.
Turn RIGHT at the Fort Lewis Visitor's Center if a visitor's pass is needed.
Continue on through the security gate.
Continue on 41st Division Drive until it makes a hard left curve and the road name changes to Railroad Avenue.
At the fork in the road veer to the right onto 2nd Division Range Road. (Cemetery Road is the road to the left and will take you to the main Ft Lewis Cemetery.)
Stay on the paved road until you see the marker for the Mortar Range 3. A photo of the marker is on the main cemetery page.
