Okay, here are the directions for those who just want to go there. Take 281 to Greenfield, OK. Then go on 1st St North to E0800. Turn right, East, to N2650 Rd. Turn right ,South, on N2650 and go to 248th NW. Turn right ,West, and it will take you to the grave, which will also be on the right hand side, North. Looks like it should only be about a mile at the most. Jay
