We found this wonderful mini cemetery about a mile before the gates to Colossal Cave. The cave was also closed.
I present Rincon Cemetery, one of the oldest in town and started on the heels of a gunfight!
The entry gate.
It's all locked up, we had to go around the wall.
Beautiful iron work.
Some of the graves are so old they don't have markers anymore; if they ever did. The last pic is my favorite one. It was a really nice spot and a lot of the graves are arranged to look out over the valley. You have to go off the path to read the names and it's a bit steep.
All in all it was a great find and afterwards we went to Denny's!
I love the old cemeteries. Often such beautiful places. Sad to see how many families died very, very young though...
