Dan and Teri:
I don't believe it! That is my Grandmother's sister's grave on your blog.
I see you are a retired Police Officer. Mary worked for the CHP for years and was escorted to her final resting place by about 25 CHP motorcycles.
I bought my GMC last summer and took my 80 year old parents from Michigan to California to visit my brother in Beaumont and Mary's family in Claremont.
Since I was out that way recently, I was following your adventure here and on your blog. Could not believe it when I saw the headstone.

I'm not sure what CHP office Mary worked out of, but she lived in Ontario so probably the one closest to there. She would have retired quite a few years ago. My Mom said she didn't know if any of Mary's grandson's geocached but apparently Mary's granddaughter, Cherise, does.

Wow! We had dinner with Cherise at the EL Ranchero restaurant in Claremont when out there in August.
I was worried that I was going to have problems like you did on my trip. Other than the 400 mile trip back to Michigan from southern Indiana when I bought the GMC in July, the Cali trip was my first outing. Only problem was a broken alternator belt about 40 miles north of Phoenix and I had a spare.
