“a spooky piece of Maine history”

On January 24, 1963 a United States Air Force Boeing B-52C Stratofortress with nine crew members on board lost its vertical stabilizer due to buffeting stresses during turbulence at low altitude and crashed on Elephant Mountain in Piscataquis County, Maine, six miles (9.7 km) from Greenville. The pilot and the navigator survived the accident.

according to the moosehead trailriders map (they erected the monument) this location is about 95 miles from the actual location. It's northeast of Greenville, ME near Horseshoe pond.
