Pioneer Cemetery (1862)

Feb 2024

I found this cemetery by accident. Its thought provoking to think about all the people who came before us and the unknown graves. Life is a gift and the people who came before us cry out from the past. They say enjoy your life because you will follow us into darkness too. So I walk in humility past this place. Stand up job here respecting the dead. I was a little saddened to see the memorial picked at and things obviously removed. I loved all the cacti growing in this grave yard.

This cemetery is very small. To visit, you have to pull off the paved road and onto a dirt road filled with large rocks. I'd recommend you take a car that has a decent lift to it - if you have a car that rides close to the ground, you will have problems in the dirt and rock filled road. The graves are very old with lots of dead cacti plants between the rocks of the graves. The headstones are made of old wood and many of them are marked as "Unknown."
