Rainy day

Today I and (name removed for privacy) arrived fairly early at RC to complete the SW corner mapping and to lay the SE grid. We got a fair bit done before the skies opened but didn't quite finish up. I'm thinking Monday and Tuesday next week might be good for finishing the SE grid and for documenting those grid squares. We also got a fairly accurate perimeter measurement (definitely trapezoidal ie neither square nor rectangle). Showing him around was cool in its way because it is his ancestors who are buried there, and so many of the interred would be relatives of one degree or another. The fencelines around the cemetery are interesting in that they don't meet quite like at a 4 corner junction, one set appears to be offset a little. This may reflect a past use of which I'm unaware; it may reflect nothing at all. I am guessing here but I wonder if maybe it reflects some of that old road I mentioned earlier and perhaps some usage related to the cemetery or church (like a place for the horses perhaps). I will probably never know but it is fun to speculate a little.
