<< I wonder just how many of us have actually BEEN to
 Hernandez???  I have!  Don't go!  The new road is quite a bit lower than
 the old road, which is now gone, so the perspective is entirely changed.
 The cottonwoods have grown up, making it difficult to even see the
 graveyard!  The cross is much diminished in brightness.  The church is
 still there but needs the original perspective!  >>

Hi Vic,

Thanks for your interesting post. I drove past Hernandez this last October,
and I actually wondered if I might be at the WRONG Hernandez! I guess not! 

It was one of those strange situations where things seemed ALMOST as they
should be, but not quite right. I just could not get any of the landmarks from
the "Moonrise" pic lined-up with what I had in front of me. Of course I did
not have the actual Adams picture with me, it was only in my mind.

But at the time I truly thought I might have made some mistake and been in an
entirely different place.
