Letterboxing - the First Adventure (in pictures) Pt 2!

Evergreen Cemetery - Colorado Springs, CO
After we had gone to the Dinosaur museum and puttered about trying to find the monster, we went back to The Springs and decided we had time for one more stamp.... and TO THE GRAVEYARD!!

I do like graveyards. I find them wonderful and fun. I love the history!
Nice view!
Are your eyes closed? Really?
The leaning tree!
Oooh
Quite a sizable cemetery!
Thought this one looked cool
The family of Blood
This one is just a cool picture! XD
Pioneer monument
Fake flowers are all over the place
Again - it's a big place!
Father
Mrs. Kitchen, I love your name
This one looked good!
A family plot
All the rocks had biblical inscriptions. I loved it.
Looking none too uncomfortable
Bessie! <3
It kept going
This was quite a table!
SQUIRREL!
The section of war veterans
I loved how the sun kept getting in the pic
The cannon monument to those who fought
in the Civil War
FLT
Beautiful angel statue
Monument to women
One of the mausoleums - there were several 
Tomb to a pioneer family
And their monument
I took almost 400 pictures that day, and this is only a SMALL sampling. We drove around to MAYBE 3% of the graveyard. I could spend a week in there from open to close and not see all the graves! I'd dearly like to go back and see some of the other parts I missed. There was a beautiful church building and I'd like more pictures. This graveyard is across the street from where my father's funeral was held. Maybe one day I can plant a letterbox in his honor around here... It's truly beautiful.

To honor my daddy

So as stated before, I am quite the shutterbug. I took almost 600 photos just on our first outing... No I'm not going to post them all, but I'm gonna post some of them! Have fun visiting the Dinosaur Resource Center with us!
