Drakor and I have stumbled upon a long-forgotten graveyard.

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Boomstick? The only way to kill zombies is to blow them into chunks of juicy kibble. ;)
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

HOLY SHIT GUYS!

I swear to god, I installed that old Windows 3.1 software about a week ago. It is like 3:00 AM and I was clicking on my start icon to turn of my PC when BAM! Magically t3h ancient digital camera program appeared. That's right my friends, I have pictures of the forgotten graveyard! From now on, all of you guys get to see our adventures first-hand.

Also, note that there isn't a human in the pictures because we were being chased by the police and everybody waited outside to watch for the cops while I ran inside to snap some pictures. It was REALLY dark in the dense jungle, so cut me some slack if the pictures seem a bit sub-par. I can assure you that next time I won't be alone (I better not be!)

There were some way more interesting things in there as well. Tomorrow we'll survey the land and supply you with photographs of our adventures. Enough talk, here's the goodz:

Image
The entrance deep within the jungle to the cemetary.
Image
The eerie emanence of the November jungle sunset.
Image
I moved on in towards the graveyard.
Image
The first grave is knocked over (note that the historical document says that this is true and the names couldn't be recorded).
Image
In huge letters you can see that "William Henry Crutcher" is buried here (documented).
Image
Up ahead is the baby's grave and even farther is the family memorial.
Image
Close up of the child's memorial, I believe he died at the age of 3.
Image
This fenced in area is a single family. The small grave marks the child and next to it is the mother.
Image
There is NO way you can deny that we've been there now. Look at that you can read everything.
Image
Some really wierd memorial things over here. It was pitch black (damn good flash) so this shot was really crappy because I couldn't see them too good.
Image
Another look out over Dingus's cotton field. This is the same field I talked about running through pitch black at night and being the freakiest thing ever. Seriously, it is.
Image
Glancing back in at the hidden cemetery.

Take some of the surrounding woods.
This is a joke about unfunny jokes. And bad use of irony.

Why were you being chased by the police?

Because they saw us walking through the cotton fields and we were technically "trespassing".

That graveyard cant be "forggoten" because the stones would be that clean. If it was forgoten then you youldnt even be able to read the stones.
Usualy one person that lives close to the gravesites is the one who takes cair of it. You probubly just havent seen them yet. :mrgreen:

The stones really aren't clean. You aren't going to find moss growing on solid marble. That stuff is so durable and strong. The only thing is that they would be covered with leaves. Didn't you see the wierd structures? That didn't seem too well kept. I know it isn't completely forgotten. But it is still forgotten nonetheless.

Probably no more than a handful of people know of it.

I cleaned the ones in the pictuires with an old rag so they'd be readable. They looked like shit.

I did that so you can tell on that proof thing. And you'd think that just the location taken with the camera would tell that it's not well known.
