Hi Jolly Cemetery
A few days ago, I had some time on my hands between appointments in Quartzite. So, I decided to visit this local attraction.
Hadji Ali is a famous character here – he was a camel driver from Syria who was brought over by the US military in an experiment using camels as transport animals in the area. He had a successful career and is memorialized in the Hi Jolly (locals had a hard time with his name and this corruption is commonly used) cemetery.
No grass and shady trees in this cemetery!
There’s a lot of rock around here – lots and lots of rock. The white quartz can be very pretty. I’m told that quartz is often often near gold – which makes sense considering the gold, silver and other mining that was done in the area.
While the grave sites seem very plain; at least the sky overhead is spectacular at dawn and sunset!
Beautiful sunset.I enjoyed Hi Jolly last winter too.
