Cool beyond words. As a kid I used to play in the ruins of Ft Lowell.

The 5th Calvary (re-enactors) used to stage mock battles at the Fort for years until PC and cost drove them away.

I just hope the stench that follows Janet N around won't spoil what should be a solemn ceremony.

The exhumation of the remains of the soldiers, most of whom died in the 1870s and 1880s, were required to make way for a major court complex for Pima County and Tucson.

So much for the "final resting place" scenario...I lost my father a year ago, and one solace I have is that he's in a beautiful cemetery (we're talking community here...not Vets) and I'd really like to hope that ever-expanding southern California won't force some sort of relocation.

The Coachella Valley Cemetery is at what is now a pretty lazy and rural intersection.....but 10 years from now, that's gonna be some prime real estate!
