    The death boards are also station 9 of the gold educational trail, there is information on a display board. According to popular belief, the dead man's soul has no rest until the death board has completely crumbled. To speed up the process, preference was given to soft wood that was also exposed to the elements.

    I wondered if they were bad luck for me, and a short time later one of my spokes broke.
