Mountain View Cemetery Clamp-Site

The Lost Dutchman Chapter No. 5917 + 4 held its fall clampout this weekend at the Mountain View Cemetery in Kingman, Arizona.

The actually clamp-site was in next to the maintenance building for the cemetery. In the yard next to the building were some discarded headstones and molds and freshly-made grave vaults. This is an old cemetery but it is still in use as a funeral was held just before our plaque dedication yesterday.

It was a good clamp-site, with the exception of dust storms blowing through. It was almost as bad as a Billy Holcomb clamp-out a year and a half ago near Barstow. The dust storms were really bad there in Barstow and I had bronchitis at the time.

There was plenty of room at the clamp-site to accommodate tents and RVs of different kinds.

It must be the "in" thing to decorate graves with LED lights of different kinds as we saw almost a third of the graves with lights.
