I've eaten in one a couple of times, even took a nap in one up in Yadkinville where 12 of my ancestors are buried.

Usually, when I go to cemeteries I'm the one being eaten by the hoards of mosquitoes that inhabit those places.
When we visited the Browder cemetery I noticed bunches of mosquitoes but they weren't biting much.

Brian, have you ever heard of "Cutter Skinsations" , it actually makes you invisible to bugs. It contains Aloe and is good for your skin, and repells mosquitoes. For those of you who have never seen a table-top marker, here are 2 photos that Maria sent me.

We use to have homecomings at the church beside the cemetery. We weren't actually on the graves but about maybe 100 ft away. I think a lot of churches in years past did their homecomings this way. Does Snow Camp have any tables? I have been at the church but didn't notice if there were any tables. I feel like there might be since this church is so old and I'm sure they have had lots of outdoor activities in the past.

They don't have any tables in that cemetery but they do have some benches. Charlie Lawson's brother Elijah who found the bodies of Fannie and the children is buried there along with his wife Jenny.

I have some relatives on my grandmothers side buried there. I think the last name is Grey. I think Snow Camp is a very pretty church.

The cemetery I'm talking about is Snow Creek. Is that what you mean or is Snow Camp a whole different cemetery?

OOOOh another picnic that sounds fuuuuun. Will never compare to the first one. I got to meet Angle, I got to meet Oakley Manring and hear him speak in person. That mans voice just gives me chills. I don't think Maria ever did get her $100 lol . Oh and getting to see the gun, just knowing that gun took lives gave me a creepy feeling. As of right now any Sunday in August would be good for me except the 9th that's my b-day. OOh how about we do one in October maybe a costume one lol just a thought.

Just follow the sign Susan that says SNOW CAMP and you can't miss it. ROTFLMAO I like Sissy's idea too...A Halloween Picnic. We can all go in costume. It wouldn't be as hot in October as it will be in August.

I promise I'll let you know Tim. And yes, we'll wear costumes, for those who want to. But no masks, some of the young children that will be attending are frightened of people wearing masks. I saw Martin Henderson (the man who played Charlie Lawson in the Documentary) and he said he'll be there!!
