Info on this gravesite?
« on: May 10, 2011, 08:04:20 PM »


Down river road between nowhere, 3 rocks a cactus and nowhere else we found a small gravesite with 4, maybe more small graves.

Ive read some threads that mention that there is no mention of any of these graves due to vandalism of these sites.

But I was curious if anyone knew more about it?

Looks like the Johnson Ranch cemetery to me.



The NPS web site has some info on its significance.
