It's become somewhat of a tradition with me... if the weather is at all tolerable - and it usually is on Memorial Day - I like to hop on my motorsickle and go see a few cemeteries.
It may sound macabre on the surface... but why? Memorial Day is a time to celebrate and reverence those who have gone before us. And the cemeteries never look finer than on Memorial Day, what with all the flags and flowers.
Past tours have taken me from Ola to Emmett to Weiser to Ontario to Owyhee City to Marsing to Melba to Kuna. Pretty much any cemetery within a 50 or 60 mile radius is fair game.
This year I went to Morris Hill (it's 1 mile from my front door, so it gets a visit every year):
Dry Creek Cemetery / Idaho State Veterans' Cemetery:
Star Cemetery:
Middleton Cemetery:
Canyon Hill Cemetery (Caldwell):
Pleasant Ridge Cemetery (SE of Greenleaf):
Kohler Lawn Cemetery (Nampa):
Lower Fairview Cemetery (Meridian):
