This is definitely one for you Cemetery enthusiasts who like to stroll through and check out tombstones. The Posted Coords will take you to St. Janes cemetery in Corcoran. There is a Grotto/Memorial at N 720 W 029 for where the church once stood. Stage 2 will take you to the Old St. Thomas Cemetery which is basically located in the middle of nowhere but has plenty of old tombstones from the 1800's. The one you are looking for is placed under a big old tree (if you know the species, let me know). There are quite a few family members listed on it and from what I can see the children didn't live very long.

Stage 1 (Posted Coords) is Broken Wings, this will give you North Coords.

Stage 2 is the tombstone of the "Sly" Family, this will give you West Coords

Final Coords
