Mound Cemetery // November 17, 2023 (Racine, WI)

Mound Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Racine, and is so named because of the effigy and burial mounds that existed in the location long before white settlers were buried there. We took the kids there on a field trip last week, after teaching them about the tribes whose lands we live on, and about Native American burial mounds in general. We of course visited all the still-extant mounds there (one of which is pictured in the fourth photo from the top), but I also took photographs of some of the most interesting graves. I was particularly fond of the one pictured in the third photo; where, over time, the tree has grown so its branches rest on top of the stone. And I had to take a picture of the grave in the bottom-most photograph: Captain William Bones is buried there! Like Bill Bones, aka The Captain, from Treasure Island!

This morning I decided to go on a hike on root river park. It is located in Olmsted County and it is about 15 minutes from Rochester. It is a nice hike, the loop is about 2.3 miles. It was a very cold this morning, the temperature was 5 Fahrenheit but it felt -11 with the wind chill factor. I almost gave out but ended out completing the hike.
