LinOma (Lincoln-Omaha) Area Photo Tag

What's the new tag?

Patience, grasshopper.

Got home with new tag on the camera and immediately had to take Michael to the skate park, where I am now. Will post up the new tag when I get back home.

Okay, time for the new tag.

This is a U.S. Civil War veteran monument, and graves, at a well-known cemetery.

Other hints:

While this cemetery has many notable interments, these following four "phrases" are all anagrams of surnames of some of the folks laid to rest here.

We I Kit
An Snows
Dog Riff
Of Tuft

Personal connection - my great-grandmother Cora is buried in this cemetery, in an unmarked grave. (I'll be happy to tell you the long version, face to face, over a beer.) Yeah, I know, this clue really does not help you. But it's one reason I chose the site for a photo tag.

And, of course, the photo:



If only the photo were bigger, maybe you could read what's showing on my GPS's screen.

Well, yeah...kinda. I have to plan it well in advance if its more than an hour or so.

Sent from my fat thumbs on a small touch screen.

That one took some detective work, but I figured it out. Just need to get there.
I have an idea for my next one.

You snooze...you lose!



Edited to name the Forest Lawn Cemetery.

Where was it!

With your keen eyes, I'm sure you've already noticed the water in the background, so that's clue number 1.

Number 2 is the yellow thing in the background.

Number 3 is there's an even number of names listed on findagrave.com from the last tag that are shared with this location, or 15 if you go directly to the source.

And yes, I'm upping the ante with the hottie.

Damn you mikeegee!

I did scout out the next one I will put up though.

Not that I have any clue where yours is :huh

There's water and a yellow thing in that photo?

That's what I was thinking

No takers?

The weather's nice, so I'm expecting this to change soon so I don't have to solve it.

I hope to be able to get the tag this week. Hang in there.

Hey, at least your tag lasted longer than a few hours... both of mine have been snagged really quickly. I guess I should make them more difficult...

Lets add Seward and Saline counties. That way the Omaha guys have to spend more than 15 minutes getting to these places....

Tag picked up at N.P. Dodge park marina.



Now that that's out of the way, would mikeegee please explain what was meant by "15 if you go directly to the source." I did not quite get that.

Next up:

Clue #1: this is in the same county as the last tag. Sorry, flyrodder, I can only get so far on my "lunch hour"
Clue #2: reading the plaque in the second photo will give the best information
Clue #3: aviation usually requires large flat areas, the kind that are created by flooding rivers

I know exactly where that is. Surprise

I figured that a few would. Come and get it!
