For years I have driven up Hwy 101 and seen this graveyard just past the downtown San Rafael exits, and I have always wanted to check it out. Yesterday I did, in the 90 degree heat - and it was pretty darn cool. Earliest birth year represented: 1816; earliest death year: 1870. Lots of Italian and Irish birth cities and lots of photos of the deceased. Find it in Northgate part of San Rafael - open 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. daily. Creepy, but not gross creepy like new graveyards. Almost picnic worthy.
