As you walk the De Soto trail, you come to an area with several religious monuments. There is one that has an obelisk and then a large cross. Both were placed by local parishes as memorials to the DeSoto expedition. Not to DeSoto himself though--to the memory of the 12 priests that were part of his excursion! There was a statue of DeSoto in the same area but that suffered from vandalism and so has been removed. It's a shame that people feel the need to desecrate memorials.
You may remember that I posted this layout previously when I worked on the Lasting Moments Challenge. Review this blog post and you can find details about the choice of colors and the sketch I used.
