This is a very cool place! It took us a bit to find it but persevered. If you head into the Cape Scott park trail, at the junction that splits off to Nissen Bight and Nels Bight there’s another grave yard on one side of the trail and an old homestead on the other side. Also a memorial cairn. The history out there is awesome
That is an old firetruck I believe, and the graves are those of some of the Danish settlers. The gravesite used to see some periodic maintenance, but not anymore as most people have moved away.
well that's cool! I enjoyed seeing the old stones at the abandoned graveyard out near nissen bight, but didn't know there was another near the trailhead! very neat. I'm sort of glad it's lesser known so the weekenders don't mess with it.
I was really hesitant to post this one... I'm glad you liked it. I feel that we did it respectfully, The story needs to be shared otherwise it will be lost to time

Yes, I think I read about it at the gardens....where the monkey trees are!
I figured it was The Danes, just found it odd that it is such a distance from the settlement
