Appleseed Coffee Obelisk

We find ourselves deep in an old cemetery with an egg timer, the D&D dice, and a very sharp pencil that we plan to throw at a map (we have yet to purchase a real dart).  The starting point was easy: Our sense of humor is essentially juvenile and the Butz obelisk made us giggle (apologies to the Butzs of the world. Have you seen our last name? We should really not make fun). 

(Factoid: Spring Grove is the 2nd largest cemetery in the United States. The first time we ventured inside we walked in circles until rescued at dusk by the security guard).

We fumble our implements.  Is this really the intermediate level? It feels like maybe we have not been allowed to pass GO, that we have landed at the advanced level.  We debate the most interesting way to use the egg timer. We get frustrated. We get into an argument about when the right moment will be to throw our extra-sharp pencil at the map.

A deer walks by.  It feels random.  We will take it. It is true, we still belong on the intermediate level.  Our new plan is to follow the deer to the funeral monument that will determine the first word for our next round.  We follow the deer past a Breitner, past a Kroger, past many names that we can't pronounce or draw.  We get nervous.

We arrive at the mild-mannered, unassuming stone of a person surnamed Bear. It isn't as exciting as we expected--it's even bland.  But it will do.

Later, we come across other promising possibilities: Seal, Wolf, Fairyring, Sandman, Coffee, Coghill, Appleseed.  We are tempted to cheat, but Bear was first.

We still have two words to go.  Fitting with the season, we are planning a funereal theme. Any ideas?

Below the break are what amount to a superfluous number of photos of us and Spring Grove Cemetery. Plus, Randi doodled a bear on a scrap of paper.
