This memorial in Albert Juhl's field in Clear Lake, Iowa, marks the spot where the plane crashed killing Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper on February 3, 1959: "The Day The Music Died." To get there, you'll have to hike about a half mile along the fenceline, and if you do it on February 3, bring your mittens - it gets very cold there. (thanks to the Forgotten Hits newsletter)
