Friday with Pat & Frank

We took Pat and Frank to lunch at one of our favorite eating places in the Black Hills area, the Alpine Inn in Hill City.

The Alpine Inn was a hotel in its former life.

Its owner is from Germany, so the menu offers some very

tasty German fare.

Then it was off for some geocaching

We stopped at the Keystone Cemetery for a cache

This was the view from that spot. 

"Only cemetery with a view of Mount Rushmore.

 Mountain View Cemetery was established in the early 1900s 

and consists of approximately 100 graves, many of which 

contain workers who sculpted Mt. Rushmore." 

A concrete border around this family plot

An iron fence around this plot

This very small plot was along the fence

No headstone, only this small plaque

Maybe ashes scattered in this plot?

Coins lying on top of this headstone

And two small angels lying on the ground below

the coin covered headstone/bench

Very pretty, unique carving on this piece of granite (?), 

used as a headstone

Pieces of quartz embedded in this concrete fence

It looked like someone used a sharp tool to write

the name and date on this concrete block,

used as a headstone

In interesting ornate marker

Leo was the founder of Red Garter/Ruby House, a

hotel and eating place in Keystone

Quartz rocks marked this grave

Then it was off to look for another cache

Hubby giving some clues to the location of this hide 

It wasn't on the ground, but hanging in the tree!
