Serious? Another cemetery?

Yup, as if one cemetery wasn't enough for a trip like this, I thought another one would complete the adventure. This was a cemetery like none other though, no tiptoeing around people's long lost pets, just their long lost, ripped out, fire hydrants that happened to be painted as people.
Must See # 12: Fire hydrant cemetery -- Brisbane, CA

The city of Brisbane actually paints all their fire hydrants that are located around the city. Once they need to be replaced however, they relocate them to this small grassy corner. It wasn't very big, and didn't have a ton of them. . . maybe 7 or 8? I guess they have pretty long life spans and don't have to be replaced very often.

So we parked, huddled around a few hydrants. . . definitely got a stare or two (brisbane was full of some interesting looking people), snapped some pictures, and were off!

I wonder who came up with that idea in the town? Funny things.....I bet they have some crazy laws. Probably no taking pictures with the firehydrants in the cemetary! Haha.

Cemeteries... for people, animals, or fire hydrants.. they are alot more interesting than we think. They aren't spooky... we will all die sometime. We have one really pretty cememtery in Pocatello and one that is not so nice. The pretty one has lots of little roads and people love to jog there. Love, Aunt Gail
