St. Paul's ia an awesome little place (Well worth your time). Speaking of.....Take your time, and enjoy the PEACE, and the views.

*******This stamp WAS my personal traveler, but in respect for Winky (out of Ithaca NY), I have turned this into a "normal" letterbox.*******


This Letterbox is located in St. Paul's Cemetery, in Oswego NY. To get there, you'll need to locate George Street. It runs directly next to P&C Plaza off of State route 104. Take George Street, North, all the way until you can't go further. **Warning** George Street becomes St. Paul's Street after you cross Seneca Street. No turns, no bends, just switches names. *Shrug* At the end, take a left on Mitchell Street, and a quick right to enter the cemetery.

** Please be aware of mourners!! Use your head :) *****


Enter the Saint Paul's gates and go straight. You will pass BUTTIMER and POTTER on your right, followed by GARDNER on your left. Continue past (Tall and Regal) CUMMINGS on the right, and the ever watchful DUNN on the left. At the top of the hill awaits LAPPIN, where you'll veer to your right. Rejoin at the "Cemetery Rules". Just after "S" and before "R", you'll take a "kinda" right :) O'Flaherty will let you know that you are on the correct track. Continue on towards the guardrail and park off to the side. Make sure you get over as much as possible, as there are others that come for the view. The guardrail follows along the road, but at the near end, it has an angle that heads towards (some bushes and) the cliff. Make sure you get a "look" out over the lake. WATCH YOUR STEP WHEN VIEWING. BE CAREFUL!!!! Go back to the spot where the guardrail angles toward the lake. With your back at the end of the angled length of the guard rail, turn right. The lake is now on your left (the end part is on the right). Take 8 steps along the bushes and look into the overgrowth. The letterbox awaits here, in the undergrowth, under a branch that has been sawed-off. NOT the cut branch at 15 steps, but the cut branch that is "hidden".
There isn't much "covering" it, but it's in the weeds (under that cut branch).

In order for an Irishman to talk to his equal......he must talk to the Lord....herself!!!!

Wizards of OZ will let you know.....follow the yellow road to Oswego. We've got the boxes.
