I decided to go for a ride at the National Cemetery in Grant County Indiana this afternoon. Despite the 35 mile an hour wind gusts, it was a beautiful and rare middle eighties , partly cloudy, late April day. I guess one could say I observed Memorial Day about a month too early, but even though my father is laid to rest there, and I have a couple of friends there as well. I just wanted a pleasant peaceful place to ride today.
This is the traditional “my bike was there” photo. Putting your bike in front of monuments sure makes it look small.
This is the old section of cemetery. You can't really tell from the photo that well, but the markers are in a circle pattern.
More markers and some nearly one hundred year old buildings.
It's a pretty large place.
Our trees are just starting to bud out.
An old horse barn.
A modern bell tower that does a Big Ben ring and then plays bell music on every hour.
Just some more of the grounds.
The main office is an old horse barn... kind of cool.
