COMMENTS: This box (#2) has been "serviced" and replaced in its original location.
**************************************************
These are two more boxes in what will be a long series of Mom-isms --- those words of proverbial “wisdom” that we’ve all heard our (or someone else’s ) mother say while we were growing up. Or heaven forbid, that we have said ourselves!
These two boxes are both hidden at Riverside Cemetery in Troy. To get there take Rt 41 (Main Street) to Adams Street and turn NORTH and follow it over the river and past the Hobart Arena (On your right) and Community Park (on your left) At the four way stop you can see the cemetery entrance. GO PAST THIS MAIN ENTRANCE and turn right into the NEXT entrance you see -- not as ostensibly designated but near a small chapel building. The cemetery’s roads are all named. You should be entering on CENTRAL.
You are looking for the intersection of Central and Northern. Turn left onto Northern. Now watch for the intersection of Woodbine and Northern.
At the signpost of Woodbine and Northern, take a compass reading of 28°. You should be looking at a lone headstone across the road about 50 yards away.
Go to that headstone.
At the headstone take a compass reading of 340°. You’ll be facing a huge twin trunk tree. Walk to it and you’ll find Mom-ism #2 hidden in this tree.
Rehide carefully.
Mom-ism # 4.
Go further west on Northern. You will come to an intersection (the very next one I believe) marked Northern and Northern ( Because the road bends here) From THAT signpost take a reading of 70°. You will be looking at two Cedar trees. Mom-ism # 4 awaits you there.
PLEASE be discreet and re-hide carefully. Many people drive, walk, bike and jog through this cemetery. And there are plenty of maintenance people.
