More Burlington!
I am having a good time in Burlington, Colorado.  I have decided to make the best of my temporary home here, and I have been having a great time exploring the local wilderness area with the dogs.  

Part of my job as a landman is to "dig up" people, and sometimes that means going to the local cemetery!  I made a trip to two cemeteries to confirm that someone had indeed passed across the Great Divide, and I couldn't resist taking some pictures.

There were so many unknown and unidentified grave markers that it was very surprising to me, as the cemetery is very small.

This is about 1/3 of the Cheyenne Wells cemetery.

My friend Sue loved the windmill and the cows that were etched onto this marker; I was more amused that it looked like an EKG that was flat lining!

I wonder what his marker looked like.

Not finding what we needed in Cheyenne Wells, we headed out to Kit Carson to visit the cemetery there.

While the Grojeans weren't much for conversation, they did give me the information that I was looking for.

And they are off!  The dogs love our morning runs.

He loves running though the grass as well, but doesn't enjoy the fact that most of it is taller than he is!

The South Republican River Wildlife Area was formerly known as Bonny Lake. The lake was drained as a result of a water fight between Kansas and Nebraska, and Colorado was involved due to the location of the Republican River Basin.

It is an interesting dichotomy to see a drained lake on one side of a road, and an old windmill on the other.
