What is the most interesting/curious/unusual thing you've ever seen while out driving?

Saturday Rick and I were country cruising. We were on a dirt road we’d never been on before. Suddenly he hit the brakes and said, “That can’t be!”
I said, “What can’t be?”
He said, “That looked like a tomb stone in that wheat field! But it can’t be! They can’t just bury people in random places.”
So he backed up, and sure as hell. It was a little tombstone at the edge of this wheat field. It was sad. It was of a little girl, only 4 years old, who died at the beginning of the 20th century. You could see where the farmer just did his thing around the tombstone.

I started doing some research and found obits for her mom and dad. Also, there was a site that said she had of died on a “wagon trail,” and they had to bury her along the way, but I think that was a myth because her parents spent their whole lives in this area. Apparently she was the only daughter they had.
