Road Trip to Fremont, part 2

So, we begin Sunday morning by having the hotel's complementary breakfast, and leaving the Moms in the room to rest (check out was not until noon!) Jones and I headed off to meet up with Bone Yard Recorder at the event location.

When we arrived, we help her finish setting up, grab a county map that she generously had for us, received some WOM clues, and headed out the door to find some letterboxes.

Being that Bone Yard Recorder does a lot of genealogy work in the local cemeteries, that's where a lot of the boxes were hidden. We were taken to some small, old graveyards and we saw some beautiful headstones and statues. The weather could not have been more perfect for our outing.

We swung by the hotel to pick up Mom and Mom. We went after a few more letterboxes and then headed back to the event locale. We learned about how to take care of headstones and clean them up...DO NOT use bleach!!...and also how the repairing process of a broken headstone is done.

After the meeting, we made sure to stamp all the gathering stamps into our logbooks, and then said our goodbyes, and started to head home. It was quite an enjoyable weekend. Both Jones and I are lucky to have such a close relationship with our mothers, and lucky to have a close relationship with each other.
