Furlong Cemetery
Furlong Cemetery sits at 794 feet along Duncan Hines Scenic Road, facing 330 degrees, with the land dropping 169 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. The view to the north takes in Nappers Rollover at 4.0 miles and Goblin Knob at 4.9 miles, both lower in elevation than the overlook itself. To the west-northwest, Brooks Knob appears at 5.9 miles, Crumps Knob at 6.3 miles, and Indian Hill farther out at 8.6 miles. Glasgow lies 15.5 miles to the southeast, Bowling Green 22.1 miles to the west-southwest, and Elizabethtown 39.2 miles north-northeast. On the June solstice, sunrise occurs at 05:25 and sunset at 20:09, giving the longest daylight window of the year at this stop.
