Decay
I have passed this one a few times on deadly highway 97, not entirely sure if it was even a descanso or just old wood. I stopped to check since I had time and, in fact, it was a memorial … and I say “was” because clearly this one has seen better days.

Still, it has the hallmarks of descansos including several U.S. flags strewn around on the ground the cross; no doubt these were proudly planted years and years ago. But otherwise no markings, no text, no nothing to identify the poor soul who lost their life here.

Rest in peace, patriot.
