Grave at Green Leaf Mine, Deming, New Mexico, USA

The Green Leaf Mine dates from the 1920s thru 1950s, but I don't think this grave's that old. Why? There's a plastic flower among the rocks, and the cross is held by screws with a modern blue coating. But maybe that's repairs.

Besides, this is atop the old mine's tailings. Who would be buried there? And it's small, too. If it ain't bullshit, I suspect someone buried a dog there.

Still, it's got that Old West type feel.

Them distant mountains is the Florida Mountains south of Deming, New Mexico, USA.

Very cool. Great find. Do you ever see snakes or scorpions on your walks? How does Ms Barkley go on these walks too?

No snakes or other bitey things seen yet. Ms. Barkley does good. I got a hunter orange reflective vest on her so me and any cars can see her.

Excellent thinking! I need to make one for Calvin and Meegan. I'm dying to go mushroom hunting but I am not super popular here and I would not be missed if I "accidentally" got shot by a turkey hunter.

That's disturbing.

This entire area is disturbing.
