    husband speaking age 81.8 Nice to see a cemetery actually put up signs or markers to a famous grave. In Seattle where Bruce Lee and his son are buried, side
    by side, there are no markers of any kind. It took me two visits to actually find the spot. Unless a person was really famous, I don't think their lives mean anything
    to folks today. We can not understand what they went through, the hardships of the time compared to the easy life we have today. Our own son, now age 39, ( he
    can't be that old, he was just in school ) can not comprehend my first TV, 6" screen, black & white shows, on only 4 hours a day. His 1st tv was at least 24" and in color.

    Been over Pacheco pass many time in a produce semi 3-4 years ago.
    Being from Colorado, I was quite surprised to see signs warning of elk in the area.
    The struggles of the pioneers traveling west is just unimaginable. We’ve been to the Oregon trail museum in Baker City Oregon. Those were tough times !
    Thanks to this channel, I was able to visit John Steinbeck’s grave in Salinas during my year of running west.
    Just down Abbott street is a Japanese cemetery, I was alway curious about. No grass, just gravel & stone. Very immaculate.

    Another great video you two. I've been a subscriber since I found you about two years now.
    If you plan a trip on the East Coast sometime (New York/NYC), there are two graves that I'd like to see on video.
    But I also like your non graveyard videos too, so don't stop with those.
    In all reality, though, one of the best ways to pay respect and learn at the same time is to explore cemeteries.
    The ultimate cemeteries like in Egypt would be fascinating to see, I just don't like how things (people) have been dug up.
    Rant over. 😂😂😂

    First of all love your channel. My bad I thought I was subscribed already and wasn’t. So I am now. I just started working in Watsonville a year ago and always wondered about history of people in Pioneer Cemetary. I would like to encourage you to continue doing what you do. I also would like to mention that San Juan Bautista has two cemeteries. One at mission and another public Cemetary across town. Of which I know a member of the Donner Party is buried at. They have some old ornate unique headstones also. One of which that stood out to me looks like a log. Gilroy has a cool old cemetery from St Mary’s church hidden in an alley way within a neighborhood. I live in Morgan Hill and love the weather in Watsonville. It’s never hotter than 85 degrees. Well thanks again for your videos.

    Thanks guys, an interesting history on these folks. Love Charley, what a life she must have led. Can you see the look on the faces when it was discovered he was a she? Now a days it's no big deal.

    Jeff and Sara. I’m definitely watching your videos. I absolutely love going through cemeteries. Like I probably said before, I have a family cemetery, the Ellison cemetery in Harrison county Iowa. My Great-Great-Great Grandfather donated the land to the county for the cemetery.

    This was a really good video, Jeff and Sarah. We enjoyed it very much. We are history nuts who go to old cemeteries for the history. We have hunted down and photographed many Presidents of the US., Generals in the Civil War, Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and other notables. We have done what you and Sarah did many times…riding through looking out both sides of the car, looking for the right shaped tombstones. 😊
    Love your channel, Jeff! Keep up the great work!

    Another very fine presentation, Jeff and Sarah! BTW...at the NW corner of W. Main Street and N. Santa Cruz Ave. in Los Gatos, is an old Victorian bldg. that at one time housed "Mountain Charley's" bar and "restaurant.' The La Canada Bldg. is, I think, still owned by the Farwell and Bacigalupe families. My dentist, Dr. Courtney Tremaine was a dentist in that building. His office was upstairs 3 1/2 N. Santa Cruz, which is in the La Canada Bldg. The Lyndon Hotel was also still in operation in the Fall of 1959. There was also a Rexall Drug on the bottom floor, corner.

    Hello Jeff and Sarah, It is off your topic but seeing your Pacheco pass scenery reminds me of working in the area in the late 50's and early 60's. My father was manager of a farm in Dos Palos and they owned property in the pass area. They raised alfalfa hay on the hill sides and I worked in the summer during school break. I used a Farmall tractor with a bar cutter to mow the hay on the hillsides, the angle of the hillside was so acute that I had to keep the front wheels cut uphill and crab along cutting. Just some of those things we did because we didn't know better. Oh and we had to keep alert for deer that hid in the high alfalfa. Didn't want to ruin the hunting season you know? 🤠🚜

    Johnny Mercer is buried in the famous Bonaventure cemetery in Savanah, he was a song writer and has a big grave site with music notes. There are alot of strange head stones from the 1800's. We go there at the end of each year and spend new year's there so if your looking to get away for the new year i can hook y'all up in the best bed and breakfast. 😊Thanks for sharing safe travels.

    July 12 would have been a good day to leave the Central Valley and head for Santa Cruz. Thanks for stopping on the way to show us this cemetery. Looking forward to some information about SC, maybe the concrete ship grounded on the beach at, I think, Aptos.

    Nor. Cal. has so much history in their graveyards. All those Gold Rush people who we know of their hardships and successes and many more who maybe even had worse hardships but we don't know about them. Thanks for the tour and the research.

    Hello Jeff and Sarah. I love your channel.
    About subscriptions….other channels that I subscribe to find the same data-many viewers that are listed as “not subscribed.” As it turns out, YT appears to “unsubscribe” viewers of channels that have conservative content. I have had to resubscribe to another YT channel several times. The other channel’s host reminds the viewers to monitor their subscription status.
