At Oakwood Cemetery. The cache is not on posted property but is only accessible between 9AM & 4:30PM (7:30PM-Summer) daily. Bring a pencil.
You can enter this area from N42 45.185, W073 40.234 by car or foot or from N42 46.391, W073 40.065 or N42 45.211 W073 40.723 by foot and occasionally by car, however, I wouldn't plan on it. The first location is your best entrance if you plan to drive up close to the cache.
BRING A PENCIL.
*****NOTE***** This area is ONLY open from 9am to 4:30pm daily (7:30PM-Summer). The gates will be locked at 4:30 so do not get trapped in there.

Oakwood Cemetery is one of America's larger rural cemeteries, overlooking 100 miles of the Hudson Valley and the heart of Troy in upstate New York. The Troy Cemetery Association, Inc. is charged with preserving andmaintaining hundreds of acres, 10-12 miles of roads, nearly 60,000 gravesites, as well as the historic Gardner Earl Memorial Chapel and Crematorium, the Queen Anne Victorian Lower Gatehouse and the Upper Gatehouse. A cemetery is a history of people, a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. Oakwood Cemetery is about preserving this history. Since 1848 this nonsectarian rural cemetery has become the final resting place for many Americans. Among the many trees, winding roadways, and silent hills are the graves of
* "Uncle Sam" Wilson, the most famous person to ever live in New York State. Samuel Wilson of Troy was recognized by Congress in 1961 as the progenitor of the "Uncle Sam" icon which has represented us around the world for over a century and a half.
* Noted educators Emma Willard and Amos Eaton
*Controversial Financier Russell Sage
* Civil War Generals such as George H. Thomas (The Rock of Chickamauga)and General John Ellis Wool.
