About
"HE WAS GOOD AS THE BEST, AND BETTER THAN THE REST"... This is just one of the many grave-marker's and tombstone's at COON DOG CEMETARY, a grave-yard devoted to one of the South's favorite past-times: COON HUNTING AND COON DOG'S...Located about 15 miles outside of Tuscumbia, Alabama is this unapologetic Park/Grave-yard devoted to the rememberance of all thing's Coon-Dog...Except the Bark, of course... There ain't no Pits,Rots, or Shepard's buried here...No,Sir...These Hollowed Grounds is for Coon-Hound's...And Coon-Hound's only...You can load up your Kin' and picnic basket's and follow the sign's off Hwy 72 and end up here, and there' picnic table's and a spring nearby...There's even an out-house toilet on premises, for when paying your respect's to 'Ole Ringworm, or Jake,or 'Ole Re-tie get a little long... This is just the way thing's are in the Deep South...And how they should be...
The plastic flowers says it all. Sign me up for "grave-cleaning" day if they are also having all-day dinner on the ground. It's my understanding that "Black Ranger" was drowned by a coon riding on a log in the Little Hatchie river.
