It's that time to start planning on going back to that cemetery. We need to plan a saturday when our escort will be available to take us back. Please contact me with which saturday is best for you plus a rain date. Remember the farmers will be in the fields planting the second week of April, they are already chomping at the bit with todays weather. 75*, maybe those last remaining snowdrifts will be gone by the time I get home from work today. Dates to look at: March 24 March 31 April 7 (Easter Weekend) April 14 We will be going through wet fields, some swampy areas, and woods thick with fallen limbs from the ice storm 2 years ago. There will be no nearby facilities, water or food. Plan ahead and bring needed items. If you have never done something like this, please wear boots or heavy shoes and have an extra pair to change into when we are done and back to the vehicles. Wear jeans to protect you from the thorns from the roses and blackraspberries. Bring your cameras ready to go. The later we go the more beautiful wood flowers we will be able to see as well. The wood floor will be covered with Spring Beauties by April. Wear Gloves, leather ones if you have them. Bring with you a small nylon hand broom or paint brush. I will bring a pressure sprayer with distilled water in it. No chaulk, no foams, we will only use dirt if needed to highlight the lettering. We can all go together afterwards and warm up and I will bring my laptop and down load everyone's pictures of that day and burn CDs and everyone will get copy that very day. Different cameras and different angles can really help us to better document this cemetery in its present condition. I also plan to give a copy of our pictures to the cememtery commission, Gina, and the museum. I will also be inviting Jesse Monroe to go with us. He went back there in the 1980s and did some restoration then himself and his sons from what I understand. He took pictures and laid a grid for location purposes. Jesse has ancestors in this cemetery and I am sure he will want to go as well. Time to go play outside. Andrea

Look at your mapping software or look on a map on-line. Find IN 32 running between Farmland and Winchester. The cemetery is about in the middle of the area boardered between 400 East and 300 East, IN 32 and 50 South. Once upon a time Base Road ran through this area, and it would be half way between 32 and 50 and would of taken you to this community. You can see that in the old map Gina has on the site. Andrea Andrea,Where is this cemetery located? Nancy

Dear Andrea, I wish that I lived nearby so that I could ask to tag along. It sounds like rewarding work. It sounds like fun work to me... Have a great trip.

We now have a date of Mar 31, time has not been set as we are going wait and see the weather forecast a few days prior. It was also brought to my attention that I should be more clear about the "Pressure Sprayer", it is kind that you use in the garden, to water a plant or to spray chems on your garden, house or trees (and not the kind that you would use to power off the paint with). Mine has not been used for that, just with the distilled water in it. The only purpose for it is to have water at the site to wet the stone for a pictures as some stones are easier to read when wet. -----Original Message----- It's that time to start planning on going back to that cemetery.
