Lone Mountain Cemetery with Zinc Grave Markers - Carson City, Nevada
00:00 Lone Mountain Cemetery Entrance
00:15 Grave Plots within the Cemetery
00:30 Partial Grave Houses
01:15 Grave Crypt of P.H. Clayton
01:50 Zinc Grave Markers
02:15 The Cemetery Detective
In the heart of Carson City, where the arid Nevada landscape stretches flat and barren, Lone Mountain Cemetery stands as a silent testament to the rugged souls who once roamed and settled these parts. Meticulously outlined, each grave plot is a small, hallowed piece of this wild terrain. Among the headstones, a few enclosed graves stand like sentinels, their partial grave houses offering a hint of shelter against the relentless dust-blown desert winds.
The crypt of P.H. Clayton stands stalwart against the harsh desert sun, much in the same way he did during his notorious life as a secessionist, which included a 3 week punishment forcing him to carry a 100 lb. sack of flour around the parade grounds at Fort Churchill.
White Bronze Grave Markers within Lone Mountain Cemetery rise from the sandy earth. I notice a distinct difference in these zinc markers than the ones I typically see. The traditional bluish-grey coloring indicative of normal zinkies has darkened with age, much darker than normal, casting a somber hue over the resting place of the pioneers buried here.
These markers, touched by time and elements, reflect the enduring spirit of those who lie beneath, their stories etched into the fabric of this untamed land.

Seven distinct burial sites are located within this cemetery. Each individual's name, DOD, and COD is listed on a descriptive marker. The cemetery is enclosed behind a perimeter fence made, possibly, from cottonwood trees. There is a labyrinth-styl...

Old Burial Hill Cemetery in Marblehead Massachusetts is one of the most picturesque cemeteries I have ever seen.

One polished granite grave marker was set afire in vibrant hues of orange/red. Other than the cemetery sunset, the h...

    They were probably marking the text with a pencil or a chalk first on the stone, they would correct the mistakes and only after they would carve the letters, once the text was reviewed.

    Beautiful share, delicious footage. I wouldn't recommend a kiak in Spring when the Water Moccasin is in mating season. They literally are highly active and can be aggressive, as they are confident and well equipped with toxic venom. Long Sleeve Shirt, light weight cotton materials, and a total coverage, a thin cotton Hajib fir my face, are my protection attire, and Vick's Salve is my repellent choice for the insects.
