The weather doesn't look too bad until we start walking around.

With this cemetery we had locations but no map. Then after a while we noticed that some blocks had a flag like pole in the center with a number on it. After that we were able to find all the graves we were looking for.

There is no building or list of graves fro this rather large cemetery. It has about 3,500 graves.

The ones we were looking for were mostly older and larger, shoulder high or so.

In this case we headed to the wrong cemetery again. Didn't take a picture of it this time.

The correct one was about a mile out of town so not much time lost.

This cemetery has less than 1,000 graves. The ones we were looking for were right at the end of the road where we drove in. Luck. Only had to get out and walk around the car to take my pictures.

We were in the area because we were 'waiting for work' so we had not gotten going very early making for a short day.

We did drive back to Osage to take pictures of the two markers we missed yesterday because I had the spelling wrong.

By then we headed to a hotel so we would be closer to the graves we were going to look at tomorrow.
