Cemetery and Altar




Roadside altar

We found this altar right on the roadside before entering Miami, AZ. It was pretty cool, someone has made the ultimate in roadside memorials and not a distracting roadside memorial. There was plenty of room to pull off the road, park and look around. People tacked pictures of their loved ones up inside and lit candles and left poems and other memorials. In Miami we found this cemetery that was really unique. The plots were sectioned off by cement slabs. Some had picket fences around them, some wrought iron, some had stone laid on the top and some were left plain. Grass doesn't grow that well so they were more dried grass and dirt. It was very interesting to walk around and see all the different gravesites. Sound a little creepy? Well it wasn't, it was fascinating. Oh, the things you will see!!!
