looking for a loo we stumbled upon the cemetery in Dusty,Wa















we know the bodies are here but we aren't sure exactly where




ah the lovely cemetery of dusty.
a bird of prey led us in also did signs for a restroom.
the restroom seemed to be a little close to the grain elevators and we instead chose the car doors and a bit of outside.
There was a shop on entering this town.
and a gun club across from the cemetery. see more photos from Dusty at This Life in Ruins
Loved the grain elevators in the back ground and the gun club in other direction , a little gem amongst the undulations of the palouse.
there was no place to register at the platform designated for such, or we would have.

Graves with photos , Roslyn, Wa



I love the graves with photographs attached.The first time I ever saw this i must have been what about 7 years old in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania , visiting extended Edmondsons in the place where they originally homesteaded.
These people buried here must have had some serious balls to be out this neck of the woods a hundred or more years ago.
i am sure things weren't easy.
I wonder what the Eastern European contingent found of the west?
accommodating?

Roslyn, Cemetery


down the rows of St Barbara
put back together again
Roslyn as always fantastic- some works been done to reconstruct some graves gone wild- fresh concrete in places.

wild turkeys , greenwood cemetery, spokane, wa


 well this was a pleasure to see these fellows meandering through Greeenwood Cemetery, Spokane, Wa
wild turkeys in spokane- they reminded me a bit of the guys from the Dark Crystal-
although I havent watched that in 20 some years so maybe - or maybe not.
we worried about whether or not the cemetery was closing or closed- til seeing several other car travelers moving through the place and knew that we were safe.
looking for the 1,000 steps as it seems to be main spot you find when searching for haunted Spokane. did not find it this evening instead did a fast ish tour of all the cemetery space there and then headed to pick up fruit at Huckleberries- we're we got some organic grapes that were yum and some what more affordable then usual. and then went for a swim.
