I had the most heartwarming call this weekend. A man in a ghost town group saw my pictures of Chinese Grave. He told me about more Chinese graves and helped me find the location for my upcoming trip. He must have looked back in the group history, he found my pictures of the Pine Grove cleanup and asked me to call him.
Out of the 30 graves where I left flowers, I shared only a few photos. One I assumed was a child’s grave, it was was a small circle marked with a stuffed unicorn holding a heart. The man told me it wasn’t a grave but a memorial to his wife who loved Pine Grove. She died unexpectedly last year and the unicorn and this was the last thing he bought her. He wasn’t sure if it had survived the weather and was so appreciative of the photo and flowers. I think it made both of our days and now I have a new friend to meet.
I mostly hid at the ranch this weekend, traffic was horrible and I am done peopling after my flight fiascos. I spent the weekend putting final touches on a few articles, cleaning camera equipment and getting ready for my trip.
I have a quick trip to Sacramento this week and hope to visit the last few Pony Express Stations on my list.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day!
