Carranza Memorial: Paintball Woes

[rblanda]

Has anyone seen the Carranza Memorial in the past few days? I was wondering if all that ugly purple paintball paint had washed off. I have to go down and finish videotaping that area, and dont need the extra color on the tape if you know what I mean.

I haven't been down there lately, but now that you mention it, what is the attraction of shooting a large, static object? Every time I go down there it's all shot up and I can't understand it. Aren't they supposed to be shooting each other with those things?

The last time I was down there, it was like 11:00 at night with a full moon and about 25 people came out of the campground across the street with flashlights and things and some guy was giving a tour. Scared the hell out of me. I thought they were the fabled devil worshippers coming to pray at the local obelisk. Not something you see every day.

Stopped by the Carranza Memorial on Sat evening 12/29.The full moon provided plenty of light to see that the paint had washed off.Someone had placed flowers and a photograph of a child at the base.It was a great night for a moonlit cruise to the pines.

Thanks,

From what I understand, they had to clean it up for the memorial service they hold each year.

The memorial service is the second Saturday of July. Do they have any other this time of year?
