Photos taken 31 Aug - 01 Sep 2005

If you take these four pictures and overlap the images on each end in one long row from first to last, you will have a 360-degree panoramic view of the cemetery. As you can see, it is a well-kept, medium-sized cemetery in a beautiful area. The road you see running across the top of the first picture is Rte 9, "the Airline." --Kess Leake-Campbell
