It was a pretty crummy day today. Cold, with a rain snow mix, mostly leaning towards the rain side of things. In other words, ideal conditions to test clothing setups for my upcoming Iceman entry.
I wanted to stay close to home in case I screwed something up and needed a hot shower or shot of whiskey to ward off hypothermia so I decided to look for something I had read about a couple of months ago- the other Askel cemetery. Yep, the blooming metropolis of Askel seems to be home to more dead people than living.
Didn't take me too long to find it....
All I can say is "Wow!".
I've changed my mind. Previously it was kind of a toss up between a viking style funeral pyre or maybe a Tibetan sky funeral (do NOT click on that link if you are at all squeamish) when I kicked the bucket, but honestly- eternity in the Karki Hill Cemetery might not be so bad.
In the grand scale of Keweenawsomeness, it only barely rates- but the fact this is sort of a forgotten little place by most makes it really, really cool.
So, no pictures this time, or GPS coordinates. You have to find it yourself. And keep it a secret.

Where do you find this stuff? GROSS!!
I know, whiskey isn't my favorite either- but a man's gotta do something to keep warm. You can usually find it where they sell beer, but not always.
