'Cemetery Gypsy' here -- with another note about finding Shy and Woodmansee Cemeteries. Didn't have any problems finding Shy and the weather was really nice.. The steel sign is very nice, and can be seen from a distance. This is mowed, however, there are many stones that are down in the ground and have fallen over.. I did take my 'one handled' tire iron and dig up several that were in the ground, so I could take pics of them. I'm sure the mowing caretaker will not be pleased with me.. A whole box of white chalk and a sore thumb later, I looked for a grave for a friend, with my witching wires. . There are a lot of unmarked graves there -- as with all other cemeteries. The grave I was looking for was indeed that of a female, since my wires crossed and came back to my shoulders.. It is often strange when one of the wires will go off in another direction by itself -- looking for something.. They will cross and then go completely out in the opposite directions and then just move back and forth together - as if there are several force fields and the wires are trying to connect to all of them... Very interesting... So, I left there and decided I'd try to find Woodmansee Cemetery off Hwy 2, west of Decatur. My map still shows old road numbers - not the extended 911 numbers & names they now have. So I turned on the (what I thought was the first) road going north and drove around for a while. I knew I wasn't on the right trail, but did come across the old Elk School and old Elk Chapel, which I stopped to take pictures of.. So, I went back to Hwy 2 and tried again.. The first road to the north said 'dead end' and there was a house at the end of the road; it had a stop sign, so I headed north on it -- and after you go around the house, there sits Woodmansee Cemetery, where the road does, indeed, dead end. So, I took pics and chalked stones -- then ran out of picture card memory... So, will have to go back to get the rest.. In all, I took 253 pictures between the two cemeteries.. and had only a part of a piece of chalk left... The cemetery is quite nice and mowed, with a few stones down. It also has a nice steel sign that you can see from a distance. I wonder if I'll get all of the Decatur County Cemeteries perused this summer - which is my plan.. Will definitely have to purchase more picture memory cards for my camera.. I had just purchased 3 boxes of white chalk and they are ALL GONE.. And, yes, the ticks were out and hungry... Maybe I'll start a 'tick farm', you know, like an 'ant farm'... If I'd kept all the ticks I've picked off of me, I'd have a nice start.. Is human/animal blood all they eat? Irrelevant, I know....
