Today was mostly a geocaching day (found my 2900th cache) through Southern Johnson and Douglas Counties.  I did get a little waymarking in - 17 pictures taken in some very historical cemeteries and areas, 6 waymarks posted.  Highlights...

This meadowlark landed on a headstone

in the historic Black Jack Cemetery - 

A Very Lucky photo!

An example of 19th Century 

carving on this headstone in the 

Eudora Cemetery.

A great historic Church in Eudora.

Finally got done painting the exterior of the house and was able to take a waymarking trip.  Went to Sedalia, Missouri Sunday afternoon and took more pictures of the Downtown Historic District.

Calvary Episcopal Church

This is a new category post (Episcopal Churches) for me

Added Katy Depot 

to the National Register Category

Sacred Heart Catholic Church

I was able to post 4 separate categories for

this historic Church.

I went out in the humidity today to Lawrence, Kansas.  I took pictures of Massachusetts between 8th & 10th - 51 items & 143 pictures.  I'm curious to see how many waymark this will turn into.  I also went to the Central Resource Library for Johnson County.  The American Series Book is quite a piece of history.  I can't wait to see what the Missouri book looks like!

I'm still in the process of posting the waymarks from my St. Joe trip from two weeks ago - who knew it takes SO long to post 193 pictures - :)

I did get a milestone this evening - I posted #2000.  It was in the Mausoleums category.

Nave Mausoleum in Mt. Mora Cemetery

Samuel Nave was vice president of Nave-McCord Mercantile Co.,

 a business co-founded by his father and uncle.

More waymarks from the St. Joseph trip to come.

I just finished posting my Ottawa, Kansas trip from January.  I ended up with 65 waymarks and two visits.  Highlights include completing all of the buildings in the Historic Downtown District, a former Carnegie Library, and a Tribal flag for the Ottawa tribe:
