Giant Cemetery

I was surprised at the amount of cemeteries we saw in Pittsburgh, but the one that really caight my eye when I was looking at the city on goggle maps was this giant one that must have been a mile long! I knew we had to make a stop to check it out.

 It was full of these fancy old crypts.



The cemetery was so large that when you were in the middle you couldn't see anything except headstones, as far as the eye could see. 



This was mildly unsettling. Was it too keep something out?  Or to keep something IN?







The little roads just kept going and going. While on this road, it kept getting narrower and narrower... But we were on a steep hill so there was no turning around.


 
Eventually the road turned into a grass path, which obviously hadn't been driven on for quite some time.

 Annnd there was a really steep drop off the other side! It was pretty scary there for a few minutes because we didn't know if the road would just stop and we would be forced to drive in reverse just to get out of there!  But luckily we got back to the paved road. Whew! I was afriad we were going to end up being part of that cemetery permanently.
