Here is another photo of headstones.
there is a cemetery along the trail. A sign there noted that one couple was buried head-to-head instead of side by side because they had been divorced. I had never heard of that tradition! Wonder what one does if he or she has been divorced two or three times?
Not the best photo but off in a distance from a clearing along the trail one could see the snow on the mountains.
I did this hike with my oldest son and we had to admit it was “cold” on the trail.

A flooded quarry is still impressive and the water appears blue. Your bike course provides thrills.
Happy new year!

Interesting burial idea — hmmm — spokes on a wheel?
Ha! Sorry! That burial tradition has me laughing!
Many spouses…they should just bury them all on top of one another! 
I saw an old cemetery in November…headstones from the mid 1800′s forward…it was very interesting.
The photos are stunning! And that hike sounds like a great one!
HUGS!!!
PS…RYC…just make sure you don’t burn your chestnuts.
Happy New Year to you,too. I think our soldier’s graves in veteran cemeteries bury the wife head to head. Tell me if I’m wrong.
