What Do you Want On Your Tombstone ??

Well my wife, the kids, and myself went camping over the weekend and I was under the impression from a "ranger" that MD'ing was OK, but when I went to get my permit I was told it was a no go :-[ .

So I thought I would look around for old thing when I found this 1854 tombstone and then thought it would be neat in the fasion of the TNet car show to show the oldest tombstones that hunters have found ??? So here is my find !

I'd like it to read:

"This is where Jim would lie, had science and technology not prevented aging beyond 40 years old"

or...

"It's ok to stand there and stare, just don't drop that pull tab"

Here are some of the oldest ones I have seen recently, but not the oldest stones I have ever seen.

Cheers,
