See, the only way you can see the grave of our 36th president is via tour bus, which runs until 1700 daily. Kind of a bummer for those of us who arrive after that time. Especially those of us who are sort of obsessed with presidential history.
The Johnson family Cemetery is located right on a small river, on the other side of which is the main road. So, in order to get to the cemetery after-hours, one would have to cross said river somehow, walk across the 100-yards or so of field, take the picture, and move out quickly.

The keepers of the LBJ Ranch are doing a great job, but perhaps they might consider changing their slogan of "All the World is Welcome" to "All the World is Welcome -- Don't Be Late or You'll have to Wade Across a Creek for Your Picture."
