After reading the article, a piece on triblive.com written by Bob Frye, I have to say that I can relate to what Mr. Frye wrote about. Hiking around woodland areas, something I have spent a lot of time doing during the spring, summer, and fall, can lead to some very interesting finds, including old cemeteries. Some are truly lost. Some are just not visited often, unmarked, but they are still known about at least. In either case, there can be some interesting finds up in the old woods.
Even if you aren't much of a woodland explorer or history buff, this could still be interesting to read. It's quick and might inspire you to take a quick hike or walk through the woods near your house. Take a look. Enjoy!
Hikes sometimes lead to interesting old cemeteries
There are two seeming miracles here, really. The first is that the Chess family found ground flat enough, even relatively speaking, to build a cemetery. We were hiking in extreme southwestern Pennsylvania, fewer than a dozen miles from the border of the West Virginia panhandle. It's a land of coal
Just make sure that you take your time in picking out the right hiking gear, and if you look after it, it will look after you while you're hiking. camping gears
