Side Trips

My father grew up on a farm that was located in what is now Umpstead State Park outside Raliegh North Carolina. The family cemetery is still there. I was driving down HWY 70 yesterday and had an impulse. I'm glad I did.

My paternal Grandparents and Great Grandparents are there. No one has been buried there since my Aunt Eveline in 1985, and I've not been back since. My Uncle Claude use to take care of it but after he passed no family stepped up.

The Park Rangers did and have done an excellent job taking care of it. Thanks guys.
