JO Lee,
Thank you for your thoughtfullness. I've encounted all of the below while
cemetery hunting and none are pleasant. Have yet to get bitten by a snake,
but that's been just dumb luck. Have had the unfortunate experience of Lyme
Disease and more than my share of poison ivy/oak! A Good reminder!
Think looking for cemeteries in winter is a much better idea. 1. no bugs,
2. no snakes, 3. I can find them easier with leaves of the brush!

Hi

With vacations coming up, some will be "itching" to explore old family
cemeteries and home sites.

We might do well to check safety measures. Below are some web sites I came
upon. You may know of others. If you are a resident of one of these
counties, your may have advice specific to the area.
