Sams Cemetery

Found this little cemetery on top of a hill amid the cornfields northeast of Des Moines. There was only a track through the fields to get to it, and it required 4-wheel drive. Lots of people named "Sams" are buried there, including many babies and children. The gravestones are so old that many are barely legible. It's a beautiful little spot, though--I would not mind being buried there! Very peaceful and fun to explore.

The bird is real.
