TEMPUS FUGIT #8 (Gregory's Four Corners Burying Grounds, est. 1761)
www.monroehistoricsociety.org/buryinggrounds
Follow RT 25N. After passing the intersection with Rt 111, you will go through two traffic lights. Turn right at the second traffic light (Spring Hill Road). Park in the lot in front of the first office building on your right. The cemetery is on your left.
This letterbox has two stamps, each concealed in different locations in the cemetery. The first stamp is contained in a small black plastic pouch and is the TOP of the tombstone. It is a winged hourglass, representing the "tempus fugit" (time flies) image carved into many colonial gravestones. When you have found the Top, STAMP IN. The second stamp which is the TEXT of the tombstone is contained in a box along with a pad. No ink is provided, so bring your own.
TOP: In the Burying Grounds, at the top of the hill to the right, is an old oak tree. There is a small round stone to the right at its base, and a small flat rectangular stone next to that. The TOMBSTONE TOP is underneath the flat stone.(PLEASE DON'T STEAL IT!)
TEXT:(relocated 12.14.11) With the oak tree at your left shoulder, look straight ahead. About 40 feet from the chainlink fence you will see a slab of rock very visibly leaning off of the edge of the ledge. get to the other side of the fence and you will find the TOMSTONE TEXT BOX hidden in a small cave underneath the slab.
Stamp in. PLEASE, replace the box carefully.
