A Delightful Detour




On our journey yesterday, we stumbled across this little gem.  Good thing Julie watches the road, especially since she was driving!  We saw this sign on Hwy 24 and immediately turned around.  The sign led us down a narrow dirt road lined with trees which were draped in Spanish moss.  It doesn't get much eerier.  I LOVE the South!


We were slightly disappointed to learn that none of the people buried in this cemetery died in action during the Revolution, but they were all veterans and their families.  Some of the headstones were very unique!


These were clearly new stones, but still Revolutionary soldiers.  I wonder if these two were twins or something since they were born in the same year.  They also died the same year as well...





I'm so glad we stopped.  I wish we had seen more things like this along the way!
