New York State law over rules those signs as cemeteries are public domain. But, I went into the Post Office to ask about the signs anyway. Seems the clown living next door to the Post Office doesn't like anyone going back there as the right of way cuts across his lawn by a few feet, according to the Post Office people. But, the Postman said, "let me call Town Hall for a ruling"....Hello Sarah? Yeah, this is Burt at the P.O., here's the situation.....................blah blah, blah blah. End of call. .................Town Hall backs you 100%, that's public domain and you can't be stopped from entering it even if you have to walk across the guys lawn to get there. But, walk on it as little as possible. If there's a problem, come back here and I'll send Larry over. ............Who's Larry I said?

Picked up 7 flags and walked .9 miles in this "Land of the Discontinued" and vacated at 11:57am. 11:59 am brings me to a small bookstore in downtown Clinton. And around the corner to a brand new little restaurant that just opened so I could grab a cup of coffee to go. Lot of laughs in there as I was the first to get a coffee to go and what a fiasco that turned out to be. She brought the pot of coffee over from behind the counter and she didn't bring me a cup, so I just put my hands together as to hold liquid and told he to fill it up but leave room for cream and sugar.................she laughed so hard I thought she was going to wet herself. We eventually got that all corrected. I asked about directions to the next cemetery and was told to go straight down the street out front and turn left at the round bank and that would take me right to the cemetery. To myself, I wondered if a round bank was a business name or what? I didn't ask, but followed the instructions. Hmmmmmmmmm sure enough down the street at the corner was actually a totally round bank building, I guess that's so you cant get cornered there???????????. 12:34pm brings me to St Mary's Cemetery on St Mary's St. in Clinton. George Aces Sr. 1913-1988 Vet of WW 2. Remember those green tennis ball sized nuts I found in a prior cemetery?, well, I thought I just found more of the same. These are similar but different. A bit smaller than a tennis ball, same green colour but the outside is covered with thorns such as you would find on a rose bush. I brought one home. Over the weeks, the green thorn covered green skin cracked and shrunk and finally on its own three, I guess?>, nuts came out of it. They were brown in colour.

OK, all done here and walked .5 miles in this "By and By Land" and vacated at 4:39pm, or so I thought......................this little dirt road I am on now, hopefully to get out of here keeps winding through the woods and finally ahead I'm starting to see some clearing and over a little hill and ..............massive cemetery. Not sure which one this is. I see the gate, so drive down there and find out this is also Sunset Hill Cemetery and very large. Drove around to have a look see and no way I was going to get this done today. Save it for the next trip. Seems odd that one section I did do way on the other side of the woods which I thought was the whole cemetery. Why were they so remote and only a few feet from the entrance to the Catholic cemetery? Wanna be's????????????? Got home at 5:54pm. Another great day with the dead........................ 8.8 miles for the day. Best Bill
