Here lies Johnny Appleseed....

On the top of a small hill, surrounded by apple trees, lies the grave of John Chapman better known as "Johnny Appleseed".

As we walked up the hill toward Johnny's resting place, two huge Ground Hogs (probably relatives of Punxsutawney Pete) hurried away to the nearby underbrush.
                                                                                   
                                                                                 
How fitting that Johhny's gravesite sits, surrounded by the very trees that he loved.
