Bye bye miss American pie

I've made the pilgrimage to the site of the plane crash that ended the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Vallens, The Big Bopper and their pilot. When people say that it's out in the middle of a corn field, they're not kidding. The small memorial is a half-mile off the road across what, today, was a plowed under, muddy field under very overcast and at times heavily rainy skies. Around the memorial you'll find flowers and other mementos (some of very intriguing origin) as you'll see in my photos of the site. Despite the rain, cold, and mud, it was worth the hike.
