Park at a large oak tree at a pasture entrance there under the tree. Enter the gate to a cow pasture which is electrified and make sure the gate is closed again. Walk north for about 225 yards following what appears to be an old road bed. The cemetery will be just in front of you and could be viewed from Bill Coe Rd if looking to your right. Cemetery is inside an enclosed fence about 5 feet high to keep the cattle out.
