Description
When I first moved from the Metropolitan Phoenix area in Arizona to a remote rural area in the desert known as “Hidden Valley” I came across this grave alongside the banks of the Vekol Wash. The writing is hardly legible anymore - evidently the dead lived from November of 1878 to September of 1941. The letters are too worn to make out the name. Folks didn’t start settling in this area until the 1970s, so this grave is a real remnant of the wild west. I plan to make the hike again to get a better picture, if the grave is still there. This picture was taken on August 29, 2010, and restored in full color and with this vintage overlay for a fitting effect.
