Rattlesnake Ranch And A Cemetery .. Fitting,Yes?

Where else but in the desert.  There are lots of oddities around the country, and this is one of them.   When I was there, it was a museum of sorts, and sold lots of items.  They advertised themselves several times on the roadside.

It appears that now it is private property and they don't want ANY company.  I wonder if they removed all the signs.   If you come across it, just drive on by.  

 

Stepping back a tad, this is the Texas Canyon Pioneer Cemetery.  Rather fitting it's so close to The Ranch.  The big headstone at the top is for Rose Hayden and her husband William Fulton who developed the FF Ranch, along with the Amerind Museum I talked about previously. 

Most of the residents here are not that old, but wildlife watches over them anyway.  Sorry for the two blades of green grass that got in the way.

This is the resting place of P. M. Sebring, 1855-1917.  A beautiful carved rock.  Makes you wonder just who this was.

Here's another ... David Adams ... 1846-1918.  He was born just before the Apache stronghold was overtaken by U. S. Soldiers.  Makes you wonder, right?

There's always something new to see in the desert.  My travels did not disappoint, however next time I think I'll wear my cowboy boots instead of sandals.  There's no use tempting Rattlesnake fate.
