Stopping to find oddities is a habit of mine, and when this obelisk stuck up above every thing else I had to investigate. It is big, really big for one man’s grave marker. It is in the middle of orchards and groves and farmland. Further investigation revealed that this man was a very large land holder in the area and set aside 25,000 dollars to build and maintain his grave marker. It is built, the weeds are scraped clean and no additional markers or explanations are at the site. How is history created? is this how this man lives beyond the grave? Who know the motivations and the background? I am still puzzling over this one. … and Life Goes On!
