This is 1 of 4 letterboxes. Each is a piece of a complete picture. Collect all 4 stamp impressions to create the image of a PEACEFUL PLACE.

Graceland Cemetery is located on Delaware Avenue in Albany NY. From I-787, head south to the end. Turn left at the traffic light onto McCarty Ave. Proceed straight until you reach Delaware Ave. (Rt. 443). Turn left. Graceland Cemetery is on your left just past the AAA office.
From the south... Delaware Ave is Route 443. Continue on Rt 443 heading north. Leaving Delmar - Jim's Tastee Freeze is on the right. Cross the Normanskill Bridge. Graceland Cemetery will be on your right.
Enter through the main gate and proceed straight. At the fork, bear right. There is a marker for Section F on the tree - this will be on your left. Drive past Section FE and Section Y. At the next juncture, take a left. Pass Thormeyer on your right. Pass Section C on your right. Continue straight. At the next juncture Section C will be directly ahead of you. Take a right. Turn right at Section D. Pass the monument to Herbert. Look for Underhill and Packard on your right. A large tree to the left of Packard holds the prize you seek near the rear of the base of this tree.

Remember that there are 4 stamps to complete the puzzle. Positioning of each stamp is critical to enjoy the image. It is helpful to lightly trace on your log book page the outside marked edge of the stamp. This will help to correctly place each of the images.

Be careful to reseal the plastic container completely, bag and hide for the next visitor.
I hope you roam around and enjoy this quaint and peaceful place. Visit the rest of Peaceful Places.
