[pct-l] funny story about Ashland

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

There is a cemetery outside Ashland?


Sometime in either 1972 or 3 my thru partner and I were hiking between 
Castle Crags and Crater Lake. We had numerous difficulties along the way 
including the flu, deer, bears, bad drivers, dangerous pool halls, and 
logging trucks, but the highlight of them all was our visit to Ashland.

Something had gone wrong with our gear and we had to find a town. We hitched 
off the trail toward Klamath Falls, having heard that our rescue would be in 
that direction. Wrong. So we hitched late in the day back toward Ashland. 
Going was tough and we ended up walking into town in the dark along the 
two-lane highway.

Tired at that point, we spied a flat field coming up on our right and 
decided to camp in it, or on it, in this case. We cowboy camped in the 
middle of it and quickly fell asleep.

The "field" was actually a very large lawn. Nice to sleep on. When I awoke 
the next morning, I noticed that there were "holes" in the grass all over 
the place, nice rectangular holes, to be exact. Upon closer inspection with 
groggy eyes, I found them to be grave markers!
