My first trip to Big Bend started in Terlingua. We went to The Porch to wait for folks to play music, but the only person interested in the guitars this evening was a five year old kid who strummed one with a plastic sand rake and moved on. It was pretty 'dead' so we went off to see the cemetery.
Oddly enough about a dozen people ended up following us.
This cemetery was established in the early 1900's during the mining of cinnabar for mercury was done in this area. It's a fairly creepy place, with crosses everywhere in sight and lots of graves closer to rock cairns with wooden crosses leaning at odd angles. The plots are literally side by side with little room for moving between them anywhere other than small footpaths that delineate the plots like miniature city blocks of the dead.
