OLD ABANDONED CEMETERIES

Teresa,

Arlene and I have been talking about the old Windrow Cemetery at the Windrow
Campground being in such bad shape. Do you know of any legal problems that
someone might encounter if they tried to clean the abandoned cemeteries up?
We had talked about it and I had suggested the Boy Scout troop (in the
winter, of course) but were not sure about any legal repercussions.

If you want to see how bad it looks, she has a link on her web site.
