My traveling companion: Look! There’s some kind of a carcass down there!”
Me (as I execute a pair of u-turns): Can we get down to it?
***
Anyway, as you can see, we DID get down to it. And made photos, of course.
It was an elk skeleton. Unless it was a pterodactyl. There’s no way to tell: we’re not paleontologists or whatever. (My spouse, who is also not a paleontologist*, was kind enough to explain all the ways this WASN’T a pterodactyl…)

*He’s a Pilates instructor, which is very similar to being a paleontologist because both fields involve bones. Or something.

This is one of my favorite cemeteries to photograph, and I’ve never even been inside; it’s locked all the time. There’s a path all the around the outside and the wall’s almost always low enough to see/photograph the graves.
Or if you are really lucky, you can get the wall, the graves, the mountains, and a fast-approaching thunderstorm all in one shot. (And then, if you hurry, you can get back to your car to wait out that rain.)
