Rockland Cemetery Deer
Over the weekend, we headed southeast and hung out near Mass City and Rockland. For us, it’s largely unexplored territory.
One of our first visits was to the Rose Cemetery in Rockland. It is so overgrown that the gravestones blended into the surroundings. The ground cover was so thick that we had to be careful with each step. Cemeteries sometimes have depressions in the ground and a sprained ankle would have put a damper on the rest of the day.
Shortly after entering the cemetery, a doe fled up the hill and then stopped. She was maybe only 40 feet away from us. She stood there, watching our every move.
Our first thought was that her fawn was in the area, but we didn’t see anything. I decided to step a little closer and she finally ran away a little bit up a hill. She only went a few more feet and then stopped again. For the rest of the time, she watched us.
I wish I had a zoom lens to get a little closer of a shot. Her tan coat was so pretty against the green of the forest. I’m still wondering why she just stood there.

If you haven’t been down in that area much, you might want to check out the Adventure Mine tour. I did it a month or so ago, and it was *awesome*. They have different levels of tour — I took the full-out rapelling, climbing, all-over-the-mine tour. It was worth it!
We didn’t go there this trip, but we have been to the Adventure Mine a few times. But you are right – it’s a little pricey – but worth it.
