About two weeks ago, I went out to pay my respects to my Dad and Niece. Also to trim up around…read moretheir markers so grass/weeds don't obliterate them to the point of being illegible. This is something I have done for the last 42 years. I was very shocked at the overall condition of the cemetery grounds. They've obviously only mowed once or twice all summer as most of the grass is near dead and now weeds (thistle, clover, etc.) are taking over. Almost all the trees and bushes are dead as they look as if they haven't been watered in years. I was even more upset as I observed a vehicle had rolled right over the markers of my Dad and Niece! Only by luck were they not broken or fractured into a million pieces! This has never happened before. Of course there wasn't any one around in the office area during their "open" hours to explain any of this. It looked as if a vehicle just turned off the road at an angle , plowing over several markers in the process. I have photos but not sure how to upload yet. I bought my own burial plot there, 30 years ago, but will now probably sell it. It doesn't look like anybody has done any maintenance, much less watering, there in a few years. I also saw their little resevoir was full of water at the time of my visit. This is the worst I've ever seen this place in 42 years. It looks awful. Very, very disappointing!

Also did a little visit on a rare fall day and it's like they haven't even tried to start fall clean up the leaves are so deep and the dirt roads are inaccessible. It makes me rethink about starting a new family plot in another area and maybe just start a new one at highland. I am going to discuss it with my family and see what they think so disappointed.

Although this is listed on Yelp as "Wyoming State Government", and I supposed it is, in a way, this…read morelocation is that of the Oregon Trail State Veterans Cemetery. The only government here, is the land in which these military veterans have found their final home. Because Wyoming had no national cemetery until recently, this state veteran's cemetery is huge. It's set on a hill, where you can look down to the city. It's an interesting perspective. Oregon Trail is a VA Grant-funded cemetery, but it is managed by the state and brings a personal touch. Unlike the national cemetery down not far away, this cemetery doesn't have the white headstones, but rather in-ground markers that make it easier to maintain the property, I suppose, but makes you less cognizant of the size. Still, on Memorial Day, there are the flags, lining the grounds and giving you the full sense of what these military cemeteries represent. The decorations left by friends and families is always equal parts fascinating and sad -- pictures, poems, personal notes. On the grounds, there's a chapel and a patio area where the services are held, no graveside services here, but burials are still with full military honors during the week. As expected, the columbarium, often a focal--point, was covered with flowers, pictures, tokens, and mementos and because they are often placed right next to another one, it's overwhelming. On the weekend I visited, just as with any military cemetery, there were streams of people coming and going even during the early hours of the day. It's good to know that people don't forget.
