Benjamin Franklin Lodge #83, Madison, WI

As many of you know from earlier posts, I enjoy walking in cemeteries and have started to collect photos of some of the curious things I've found. There is a particularly strange, modern cemetery near Plymouth, Michigan called United Memorial Gardens. As its name implies, its is divided by religion (general Christian, Fundamentalist Christian, Muslim, by various themes "The Great Lakes" and various prayer concepts, and even "Singles" (I guess in case you want to hook up in the after life), children (bordered by stone Raggedy Anns and teddy bears), etc. I also notice that they had constructed a Masonic Garden, creating an over-sized lodge room in stone:

Then, to make this really Da Vinci Code, I discovered that the Lost Ark of Covenant was in fact secreted just a 9 iron away in the same cemetery. Rosslyn Chapel eat your heart out, you've been rebuffed:

Looks like I've scooped Dan Brown and Bro. Chris Hodapp, just to name a few.
