I've done some pretty crazy things in my years on this planet, but driving out into one of the most rural spots in America in the darkness of night in search of a strange anomaly seen on an Internet map is not one of them. Free time can have haunting consequences.

YouTuber Dave Explores has found a way to earn money online by seeking out adventures that take him to the most remote regions of the northwest. He recently drove more than 10 hours to the area of Yellow Pine, Idaho, approximately 140 miles north of Boise, in search of something he saw deep in the woods on Google Maps.

It turned out that what Dave saw online was a burial marker for one of the state's most off-grid graveyards, a site known as Battleground Cemetery. Only a few people are buried there, with markings dating back to the mid-nineteenth century.

The cemetery is located in a region of Idaho known as The Lost River Valley.
