This maybe will seem to you like a weird mystery but thinking about the answer will most certainly tug your heart.  This is a view of the new Veterans’ Cemetery south of Spokane. I took this photo last week.

The shining white tombstones against the green lawn and blue sky….with the American flag in the far distance….. was lovely and quite moving. But what moved me to tears was the thought that all that green lawn will eventually be covered with more and more and more shiny white marker stones. The mystery? How many??? How many more??  Most sobering thought.

And a WSGS cupcake to Pat Manning for correctly identifying the Olympic Peninsula as the subject of last Monday’s myster and that 1954 description. It’s from The Untamed Olympics: The Story of a Peninsula, by Ruby El Hult.  Anne Grimm, Sonji Rutan and Patty Olsen also knew the answer. Good for you all!
