Stop at house and ask permission from farmer to visit cemetery. Cemetery is completely overgrown, but has some of the largest stones I've ever seen. This is a very old cemetery, is of historical importance, and is in dire need of friends to clean it up. Many of the stones are in excellent shape considering the overgrown nature of the vegetation. The grass and weeds were at least 5 feet tall in some areas.
