A Fun Trip With My Husband

Over the weekend my husband and I went on an adventure! we were planning to go to Saguaro Monument to take pictures, but they don't open until 7 am. Since it was before 6 we just followed the road to see if there was any place else.
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!
