Daniel Cemetery Hike




Started my morning at the Howell Cemetery on 94. Had never really checked out the headstones there, so I finished my coffee and wondered around in the dewy grass before beginning my hike to the Daniel Cemetery.













































Awesome solitary trees--alive or dead--at the edges of fields, in the corners of cemeteries, markers along the trail.





































































The Daniel Cemetery is on the lefthand side of a grass road. The headstones are in German. Many are broken except one that is perfectly preserved--M. Daniel: Geboren 7 Marz 1806, Gestorben 22 Aug. 1878. No grass in the graveyard, mostly weeds and yucca plants. There is the customary almost dead tree in the corner of the lot.
