DODSON CEMETERY, Lynnville,
GILES COUNTY TENNESSEE
Ahead and to your left 200 yards is the thicket. Notice further on your left is
the Rail road tracks.
Looking northeast while standing on the Rails yields this photo of a cemetery
long abandoned & impossible in this state to survey.
From inside the cemetery this train roared by, as I was trying to clear enough
brush to make photos.
The Engineer spotted me and acknowledged my presence with a wave of his hand. I
am sure he
wondered who that crazy guy was that was so deep into the thicket only with a machete
hacking away at the growth. Truth be known the soot from the train engine
fertilizes the growth and causes it to be denser than normal.
I did not show but few photos of this cemetery because it is impossible to see
anything beyond about 1 foot next to the ground.
