Tombstone Zombies

Last Friday Dad, Mom, Jack (dog) and myself went to visit a "Tombstone Quarry" up in Merlin (near Pottsville and Pleasant Valley). According to my dad, they just discovered it about 6-months ago while logging the (government) land it resided on. So far, they have decided to preserve the area used for the quarry. The quarry was supposed to have been used by early settlers in the area during 1800's. There is an overgrown cemetery near the quarry (Pottsville Cemetary) which supposedly used the granite resources for the earlier headstones.

It was a perfect day for the hike. Our first trial was getting through the multi-lock gate... as you can see, nothing could stop us, we broke through those locks!








I'm pretty sure there were ghosts or zombies lurking in the forest because Jack was acting like a chicken the entire time. All he wanted to do was cuddle and hide his head like an ostrich.

We did discover a few zombies...oh, wait, that's us!





















Because our zombie-characters could not find any brains, we ended up going to Jerry's a local burger joint, for some lunch. What a fun day with my parents!
