The recent warm dry weather with infrequent but heavy showers has caused the roadside verges to become a mass of tall weeds in a very short space of time, completely obscuring the Rosie's Sweat Box Memorial.

A swift bit of tidying up had it looking much better:

You know... I keep thinking we should cook up a small photo album for these guys.

I'm thinking a photo of the crew, the area surrounding the memorial, the memorial itself and maybe a map of where the memorial is located? Maybe images from the time of the incident too? Anyone got the time to pull all these items together?
