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!

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

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
