2007 Memorial Day Cemetery Tour

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):
P1000364s

Dry Creek Cemetery / Idaho State Veterans' Cemetery:
P1000372s
P1000376s

Star Cemetery:
P1000380s

Middleton Cemetery:
P1000389s

Canyon Hill Cemetery (Caldwell):
P1000395s
P1000394s

Pleasant Ridge Cemetery (SE of Greenleaf):
P1000400s

Kohler Lawn Cemetery (Nampa):
P1000403s

Lower Fairview Cemetery (Meridian):
P1000407s
