Day 4 of Our Geo Adventure

Today/Friday was the last day of our travels across the southern part of South Dakota in our search for geocaches. We started the day in Yankton and ended in Watertown. We zig-zagged north and south, east and west on wet gravel roads in glacial hill country. We stopped at more than a dozen cemeteries and collected two more much needed counties. We now have cached in 65 of the 66 counties. We will get the last one later this month.

So here are some photos from today's adventure...

well maintained cemetery east of the church


and the Poor Farm cemetery across the road to the north


don't believe I have ever seen a two-colored headstone
