9/5/10 - finally had a chance to check on this today. A couple of people had told me that there were a lot of new signs saying private property and that the police patrol the area. They are right and so, we didn't actually try to get to the box to remove it but I am marking this as unavailable and will archive the clue in a while.
-----------------------------------

#22 is in a small cemetery on Rt 10 in Avon. It's easy to miss it as you drive down the road. Coming from Rt 44, it's about 1.3 miles after the Cider Mill on the right side. It's Cider Brook Cemetery and is on Cemetery Rd, although calling it a road is a bit of a stretch, especially in winter.

Cider Brook Cemetery was established around 1760 and is the oldest burial site in Avon.

Turn into the cemetery and take the left branch of the road. You might want to walk from the entrance area although the road does go around. If you do drive, do it carefully.

Go around and up the hill until you see a short section of stone wall on the left. The daisy is in the left end under some small stones wedged in. Cover well when you're done.

This cemetery has some old stones, many still readable and many not. Also, someone has planted angels on a number of graves. Watch your footing as you wander around and beware of burrs.
