Pathways are clear to ride your bike and walk your dogs. Friends, please do your part and keep Evergreen clean! Lastly, if you see a person (including myself) at a grave, that is NOT an open invitation to walk over to that person and impose your religious beliefs. Religion and/or lack of religion is a personal choice. Be respectful of others- even if they don't share your religion/practices."

It's a list of things you can find in the cemetery: star, lamb, dog, acorn, heart, wings, etc. There's a wooden structure near the entrance where you can pick up a list, if you'd like to participate in the scavenger hunt."
