Wildwood Cemetery, Brockway

  This is one of my favorite cemeteries. It's at the end of  Maple Street, making it a "dead end street", wink, wink. When I was a kid, my mom had friends on this street and we visited them often. All the kids on the street would ride bikes to the cemetery. Sometimes we'd play tag, hide and seek or just find a spot, drop our bikes and sit and talk.  It was never a creepy place to any of us. As I got older, I've always felt drawn to it. It is part of a somewhat traditional walk for our family. We go up 5th Ave (the only street in Brockway with steps), across the last street on the top of the hill toward the water tower, then up through the woods, into Miller's fields, and down over the hill and into the cemetery. And for any Geocachers, there are two caches hidden in this area. I've taken my nephews (now 33) this way many times as they grew up, and then my own kids and now my nephews kids, making it a three generation jaunt.  I often walk there because it has sloping hills and it's so peaceful, really clears my head. Wildwood is so familiar to me that I had never taken the time to photograph it so last week I spent almost 3 hours there, doing just that. I walked in and tried to look at it like I would any new cemetery. To really see what I normally walk right past.Wildwood Cemetery Brockway PA
