Maybe bug spray depending on the place and the season!<br /><br />I don't usually end up cleaning off too many headstones, but I did pique someone's curiosity once while recording information from gravestones at a small cemetery in the town I grew up in. I was just mapping it out as part of a thesis I was writing, but this older couple admitted they thought I was working for whoever owned the cemetery, determining "who stays or who goes"!
