A cairn near our home, leading to the tombstones below, near a large arroyo, whose intermittent waters flow to a larger river, thence ultimately into the ocean.
I am one of the very few people who walks this small canyon several times a week, and I almost always add a small stone or two to the four cairns that now grace this arroyo.
Tombstones at the end of the path, from the 1830's, a reminder of the end and ultimately renewal.
