We placed this box while in the area camping, fishing and letterboxing! It's part of our goal of planting at least one box in each Oklahoma county before the end of the centinneal year (2007).
Clues:
Take state highway 48 approximately 20 miles north of Durant, to the small community of Coleman. My great-grandmother lived in this area and sent her youngest son off to WWI from here and is buried in the Ego-Coleman cemetary just south of town.
Take highway 48 .9 miles south of Coleman Community Center to the cemetary. There will be a "cemetary" sign pointing east and also a sign for Dolese concrete. Approximately 2/10 of a mile to Cross Lane, turn right.
As you enter the cemetary drive straight ahead and the oldest stones will be on your right. You'll go pas a newly planted oak and a large old cedar. Park about halfway between this cedar and the next older, taller cedar.
Walk straight west toward the large stone tree that is directly north of the second cedar. Facing the name of this woodman, Robert Bright, look to your left @ 45 degrees and see my great-grandmother, Mary Etta's resting place. She's been at rest for over 80 years now, and I'm the only one left who stops to leave flowers when we happen to be in the area. Today they's blue, like her oldest son (my grandpa's) eyes. There is a small bush, perhaps a while plum growing behind her tone and next to it a smaller stone that we brought from our home to hide the box.
Don't worry, you won't be disturbing her! From what my grandpa told me of his mom, I see her smiling at our little game and her part in it!
