Stumbling across an abandoned cemetery is a sad yet all too common experience.  Many of these graves belong to pioneers who gave their lives to settle the places we now live in comfort, yet their final resting place remains as wild as the setting they saw last. Their graves are void of flowers or visitors, and often even the most minimal of landscaping  does not occur. Their markers, if any, are left to time and elements and bear the scars of both.
